1996 Civic Blower resister keeps blowing.
The blower stopped working the other day and I pulled the blower out and wired it direct to a battery and it worked. I pulled the resister out and it was fried. I put a new resister in and the blower worked for about 15 minutes then stopped again. The resister was fried again. I have done some research that indicated maybe the blower is bad I just didnt let it run longer enough when I tested it for it to show a problem. The blower does sound a little funny when it is running. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I had a similar problem with my 93 del sol.
The blower would shut off and the blower relay was very hot.
After shutting it off and letting it cool down it would work again for a short time. The problem was a very corroded connection at the wire harness connector to the blower motor. You have to drop the blower motor to inspect the connector. If it's very corroded and burnt looking that's the problem. I just replaced the blower motor and hardwired the connection.
Works fine now.

By "fried" I mean the wire coils (looks like 3 sets of small springs epoxyed together on a new one) are pulled apart and the epoxy that holds them together is looks burned off. Something must be overloading it and causing it to burn up.
