Hi I have and 03 SS with auto climate control and my blower motor stopped working. I was going to buy a new one, but fell off my chair when I found out how much my dealer wanted for a new one ($625 CAD). Anyway, I had a industrial mechanic relative look at it, everything on the motor was fine (windings, brushes etc), but the bearings were on their way out. We gave it a few shots of penetrating oil, over a few days, letting it sit each day. We tested it for current draw, and seemed okay. Put the motor in and worked fine.
Probably a stop-gap measure. I find it frustrating given that the only thing non-functional was $5 worth of bearings, and having to buy a whole new assembly.
Still love this car since buying it new in 2003, but I imagine alot of owners get frustrated and throw up their hands on minor electrical stuff like this.
