 2001 Taurus blower motor
I found the problem.... While doing some searching on various forums I found a post that noted a 2003 Taurus auto had problems with water getting into the blower motor and causing them to fail. Seems Ford may have had a recall on the problem but I'm not sure about that. I decided to take the blower motor out and check it. Sure enough there was rusty water that came from the motor and its housing... a few ounces I'd guess. I blew air through the motor and warmed it up to try to dry it out and luckily, after the motor dried out it ran again. I reinstalled the motor and the blower now appears to be working fine. Hope you find this info helpful.
As another observation, for anyone who has problems with the blower working only on high speed and replaces the blower resistor module , I'd suggest they check the blower motor for water when they replace the module. I'd think that the little bit of water causes drag on the motor ( which would then draw more current and cause the module to overheat) and blow the non-replaceable fuse in the module. I've had to replace three of these modules before I found the water in the motor.
