I was on the way to the gas station, when i saw some wires fall from under the dash behind the glove box. I went to stuff them back under there and they were really hot. I did a little test when i got home, letting them cool and turning on the blower again to make sure that is what they were and it seems to be them.

One is orange, the other blue. big fat like 10/12awg wires. so that the blower motor is the only thing by the passenger seat i can think of. Any ideas why they get so hot? could the motor be going bad?

See http://www.autozone.com/images/cds/gif/large/0900823d80195964.gif for a wiring diagram

The only thing they connect to is the blower motor. So if they are overheaing, it may be rubbing inside the case, or the motor is fixing to take a dump.
