Blower Motor Killing Battery
I came out this morning to find my 2001 Expedition dead. Once I put a charger on the battery I noticed the heater motor running all by itself (no key in ignition)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

The blower will stop if turned off. <o></o>
Has any one heard of this? I thinking a stuck relay, but don’t know where the relay is located <o></o>
Thanks<o></o>

Most likley a stuck relay located next to the flasher under the LH side of the dash. Turn on the flashers and look for where the clicking is coming from then pull relays until you find the correct one. The blower relay is not in the fuse box.
