Weird Blower Problem

Last week I said my blower motor didn't work at all. I checked the fuses, and they were blew out.

I changed the fuses, and they blew out again when I turned the speed to high.

I connected the blower to the battary, and it worked. I could see a little smoke comming out from the pipe hose, I knew that was b/c I put too much oil in the blower. So I kept running the fan in order to burn all the extra oil out. Until there was no smoke at all, I put the blower back into the car and it worked on high.

After I put back the glove box, I turned the blower on high, and the fuses blew out again...

I could hear the speed of blower motor drop right before the fuses blow out.

So, what is the problem with my blower?

The blowers in these cars go bad quite often. I would maybe think about replacing the blower motor itself. Many members have purchased ones from junkyards out of wrecked Maximas. A bit cheaper than buying new.
