Fresh Air Blower, toast?

My fresh air blower had stopped blowing so, after checking the fuse (even though the dash light would come on) I broke the seal on my new Bentley and removed the blower. I was hoping to find a disconnected connector but instead found this melted bit. I assume I need a new blower and can order one unless somebody thinks this is repairable. My real question though is, what could cause this? I would hate to burn out a brand new blower if the melting is simply a symptom of a greater problem. Oh, and my a/c blower stopped working too. Heater blower seems okay. Thank you in advance.
Yes, I disconnected the yellow connector.

Yes. Another washer bottle to go along with all the blowers. The PO didn't even know what the toggle switch that actuates it was for. Five minutes with the owner's manual solved the mystery. Still, it seems random to include something this obscure from endurance racing that will rarely be used. I guess when you need it, you really need it and it secretly pleases me to have this option.

Shortly after I got my '84, I went for a ride during the evening hours with my wife. About a mile from home I switched on the fresh air blower and within a few seconds the cabin started to fill with smoke. So, these things just plain fail with age.
Toss the old one, put in the new one, put an extra fuse in line if you are worried about it and enjoy the new fresh air fan for the next 90,000 miles and 20 years.
