WIRING TO MY AIR CONDITIONING BLOWER BURNT ON MY 2007 SATURN SKY. IT WOULD WORK OFF AND ON, FINALLY BROUGHT IT IN TO DEALER.

FIRST INCIDENT HAPPEN WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK. I GOT INTO A PARKING PLACE AND SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK. THEN WENT TO SHUT OFF THE CAR BY TURNING THE KEY. THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN AND SO I COULD NOT TURN MY CAR OFF. I HAD TO CUT THE CAR OFF BY OPENING THE HOOD AND TAKING THE FUEL PUMP FUSE OUT TO SHUT IT OFF.
