Blower motor resistor issue

Well I decided to troubleshoot things to see exactly where my issue was. When I had everything hooked up, the fuse blew as soon as I turned to position 1. When I disconnected the blower and just left the resistor by itself, the fuse blew when I hit position 4. I disconnected the resistor and left just the harness, and it again blew at position 4. So I'm assuming it's my harness, correct?

just an fyi, you can get the blower resistor and wiring harness for less than $80 at http://store.the-electric-connection...t=products.asp

The Saga Continues 2006 Silverado 3500
My problem is the same as everyone else and it seemed simple enough. So far, we've replaced the resistor thrice, the harness, which was as loose as a rotten tooth, and the blower motor. We still continue to blow resistors. Today, the problem manifested itself as the blower motor would continue to run with the key off. This was the same problem we had when we replaced the resistor the first time. The rest of the time, the thing just went out and burned the harness.
When we replaced the blower motor, our resistor and blower motor no longer ran hot to the touch. Of course, I can't swear to it because of our ungodly heat that's finally arrived, but it seems hot to the touch again in the resistor and on the blower motor after it's run for a while. The guy at the parts counter said to try the cabin air filter. There isn't one that I can find anywhere on the truck. Bad blower motor again? Cheap resistors that keep blowing? We're at a loss and are ready to shoot the thing between the eyes.
