My dealer basically said there is no fix for it, and the best thing to do is to continue emptying it.

Don't let it go too long, though! I just found out today that I burned out my blower motor, and will now need to replace it.

I am competent enough to change a tire, and check oil, etc. I am pretty good at directions. Would this be a repair I might do myself, or would it need a lot of tools I don't have? I just don't have the money to pay to have it done, and no cabin air is a real bummer.

Replacing the blower is not bad, as it is at the bottom of the stack, behind the passenger glove box. Are you sure that the blower is actually bad? Will it not spin at all, or is it making noise?
