The heat in my car stopped working. I have replaced the blower motor, and still have the same issue. It worked just fine at about 9:00 am, but then ceased to operate by noon. The wire harness, and receiving side of the motor were both melted on the positive (+) wire slot. After replacing the blower motor, it was still not operational. Using a test light, I discovered that my blower motor, and also the blower resistor were not getting any power. I have yet to check my fuses, but any suggestions are appreciated.

There is a blower motor control relay that needs to be checked along with the fuse. A bad relay can create high resistance in the circuit which can cause the connector to melt and the motor to go out.

Here are two guides to help you see what Im talking about.

Please let us know what happens.
