I'm Awesome
The position indicator marks in your photos look good. Defrost will engage the compressor so that’s normal as others said. If there was rust on the blower motor shaft when you pulled it, look for a water leak at the cowl vent screw hole directly above it. Put a mirror in with the blower removed and you’ll see the screw sticking though. Put a hose to the windshield and see if water comes though. Goop the hole and screw with RTV and that should fix it. Wet carpet is another indicator.
Good morning. Yes, I have been though the stupid screw process a few years ago. What a stupid place to put a screw. I did goop it over then, but saw this time around that the goop was gone. I have rubber winter mats in and saw a bit of water in the mat, so checked, and re-gooped.
I bet there are thousands of owners who don't know about the stupid screw. Good that you mentioned it. Thank you.
Also, thanks for confirming the index positions are OK and the Defrost-A/C function.
Cheers,
