I just bought a 2007 Nitro sxt a few months ago and the blower motor wouldn’t come on so we changed the blower motor reisistor and that didn’t help then my boyfriend is now to busy to get deeper into it so he dropped it off for a diagnosis at the dealership and they said the blower motor has water in it and it shorten the resistor out, my question is where did the water come from and how did stop it from happening to the new one when it’s installed?

Does your Nitro have a sunroof? There are drain holes at the front of the sunroof on both corners that can get clogged with debris. A rubber hose is connected to each drain hole and runs down the a-pillar, and out on the underside of the vehicle. It is possible that one of the rubber hoses is leaking and has allowed water to get in behind the dash. Just a shot in the dark, and mainly guessing, but that could be a possibility.

Thank you for the reply but no it does not have a sunroof, I have not seen any evidence of water getting into any part of the passenger compartment.
