Blower motor for heater/ac stopped working,dicovered the resister was bad. Chg’d the resister and inspected the blower motor,shaft had some play in it.Put motor back in after lubricating it,resister blown again! Could the motor itself be the problem?

You can’t lube a blower motor bushing.

Replace the blower motor and resistor pack.
