[T3] Blower Motor

[William J]

The fan does work on high speed and I never did anything to cause the 
harness from the switch to the motor to short , it has a clear path. I 
imagine if the resistor depending on how it's mounted must have some path to 
ground . Even could be the capacitor depending on where it is , if it's an 
electrolytic it could short due to age or it burst it seems to be the last 
link before the blower motor.
