    Hi guys, this is actually my first post here, but I'm short on time at the moment and have to get straight to the point. I have a 2000 GTP w/ 152k miles. I have had alot of trouble with the blower motor(s). In '08 I replaced the old one which had worn out brushes. I also replaced the resistor module(the $250 one). It was all rusted out inside, odd for electronics. I installed a new blower March '08, which stopped working this May. I took it out, opened it up and the motor brushes were...rusty! If I put yet another blower in there, will it rust out too? How can I trace where, I assume, water must be coming from? Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Theres a writeup here http://www.grandprixforums.net/f73/water-floorboard-take-2-permanent-fix-6961.html

    If youre like me and dont have the resources.... i cut a piece of cardboard to fit and used masking tape to keep it from getting killed by the rain, no problems since.
