It could be something as simple as debris binding the blower shaft or dirty, worn or rubbing blower bearings, or a rubbing impeller (fan cage), causing current draw to be too high.

Could also be a shorted winding in the motor.

Short sounds right. I had the same prob with mine. I took the resistor wire thingy out of the blower motor housing under passgr side dash. Not sure what its called but it had 2 or 3 coiled wires that went on the inside of the housing that were all rusted and pretty messed up. I assumed this was the prob. I just wired up a switch to the motor and it worked. Only have high but at least I got Something for now. The price of that little thing slips my mind but it is kinda hard for me to find so Thats why I hard wired it. I'm sure I could find one at the junkyard I just havent looked lately.
