Defroster blower won't turn off - Cheap Solution

[RussMcB]

Apologies if this info is already here. I didn't find it with the search words I used.

Recently I turned off my car and the defroster blower motor was running hard, and didn't turn off, even after removing the key and leaving the car. Luckily I had a battery disconnect switch, otherwise it would have been a dead battery for sure.

Once home I Googled and found this perfect video:

Not only does it identify the problem (control module), but also that a $30 '93 Jeep Cherokee part is identical and much cheaper than the Corvette PN.

I still shake my head when I think about trying to solve problems before the internet filled up with all this valuable information.

Will put that one on my mental shelf just in case. Thanks!
