blower issue
i recently replaced my blower resistor a few months back because i lost my fan. after replacing, it started right back up and i was good to go. new years day i got in my car and turned on the defroster because my windows had a nice layer of frost on it and came back out about 5 minutes later and nothing was different. i checked the vehicle temp and it was around 120, which should have been enough to defrost the window. i then noticed that the blower was not on when i had it set to high. i started switching between all fan speeds. i though it was the resistor again but unlike the first time, the highest speed was not working either. after a minute of changing fan speeds smoke started rising out of the vents which smelled like burnt electronics. i turned off the car and immediately got online to see if i could find something. at the time i couldnt find anything. an hour later i started up to see if smoke would come out again, but nothing did. now i still have no fan blowing. the air will come out when the vehicle is moving though.
any thoughts as to what this could be? i am way beyond warranty so taking it to a dealer will be my last resort.

i still haven't got around to taking anything apart yet. late nights at the office coupled with early mornings leave almost no time to snoop around. but if the motor is a pretty unanimous agreement, then i guess its time to search for a replacement. thanks for the quick replies.

as for this, yes, my car is kept outside and this happened right after our last rainstorm which lasted almost a whole day.
