My independent mechanic told me that he originally suspected that my blower motor had frozen up and that caused the subsequent fuse to blow/fire. He has since taken my blower motor out and verified that the motor was not bound up.

When the initial blower "hiccuped" I know for a fact that the blower was still running even while the fire was burning. After I saw the smoke, I turned the blower fan off and then after putting my flashers on, I turned the car off and popped the hood. After extinguishing the fire, I started my car up and of course since there was NO fuse the blower motor did not run. Does fire conduct electricity? Although, there was NO fuse while the fire was burning, I KNOW the blower motor was running.

Anybody know if fire will conduct electricity?
