Lost my HVAC blower

[PWong]

Now Blower, Blowing with key off.
Went out this morning to go to work,
batteries DEAD.
Now What?

Charge up batteries.
Replace ignition switch.
I would replace blower motor too.

Always turn blower/heated mirror/heated rear window off before turn key off, try to avoid using the ignition switch to kill the blower motor current.

Charger trickling now, been on since 8 a.m. Ordered new Genuine Mopar Ignition, this morning. But Blower is NEW, Less than 2 months old. Can't believe that's the problem.
Last ignition switch replaced 2-2 1/2 months ago with the generic (cheap) one. We'll see if Genuine Mopar is any different. You and I both know that blower gets its power from ignition switch and I shouldn't have to turn it off every time I shut the truck off. Also newer MOPAR batteries, less than 2 year old.

I chased this exact issue on my '05 a couple of years ago. Turned out to be the blower motor. Thank god I missed all the fun of the TIPM.
