Default Burning smell

Just happened a few mins ago. Went to an independent Porsche shop to pay for a few sensors and on the way there I smelt this overwhelming burning plastic smell coming from my vents. Had my buddy take a look at it with me and the engine seems fine. My amp wire for my sub is cold, no fires under the dash, belts are fine.

Has anyone ever melted their blower motor? This is something I am really not used to even reading about

Pulled the assembly apart, smell definatly was coming from the physical motor that has those two white carousels. May be something good to document

So that means you have your cowl cover off, yes?

There's this thread up right now asking about pictures around the cowl area and of the cowl itself.

Is something stuck in the motor? Isn't there a resistor pack in there somewhere that should be cleaned?
