WHILE DRIVING ON A HOT DAY I NOTICED AN ODOR OF SMOLDERING WIRE COMING THRU THE BLOWER VENTS. I PULLED OVER ON THE HIGHWAY AND CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD. I NOTICED THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS HOT AND MELTING.FORTUNATELY THERE WAS ONLY SMOKE AND NO FIRE. I TURNED OFF THE A/C BLOWER (WHICH WAS NOW NOT WORKING) AND TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL A/C REPAIR STATION FOR AN ESTIMATE.
