SOURCE: my hot wire for my

If you don't want to go to the bother of changing the fuse box then you can run a power wire direct from the battery to a switch inside the car and hook the blower motor to the other side. It will always be live so you will have to remember to turn it off when you turn the car off. Also make sure you put an in-line fuse between the switch and the blower motor. Make sure that when you feed the wire through the firewall that it can't connect with metal or it will short out. Put the wire through one of the rubber plugs that are already there. Hope this helps.

Testimonial: "thanks alot gotta find the blower motor now and get me some wire switch and inline fuse "

SOURCE: if its not your blower speed controller what else can stop your air from blowing after the blowwer motor is replaced

It could be a relay or a shorted wire

SOURCE: My Air cond, heat and vent doesn't work at all on my car. I have replaced fuses and the blower motor. Whenever I put the new motor in it would run then blow the fuses. Could it be the compressor?

No, the compressor will NOT cause these fuses to blow. You have a SHORT in your electrical system. you have a HOT wire getting into the Ground for that system

HEATER NOT WORKING ON 03 YUKON

Heater not working ???? Blower motor not working , no air blowing out of the vent's. defrost , floor ? I'm assuming you have the manual HVAC - climate control system , by the fact that you replaced the resistor assembly . Was there a relay included on the resistor assembly ? What fuse's did you replace ? HTR/AC - 30 amp. left I/P fuse box , BLOWER fuse -40 amp - under hood fuse box ? Did you use a DMM - digital multi-meter an test for B+ voltage at the purple wire at the blower motor ? The fuse's you replaced ,check for B+ voltage with meter .
Your vehicle could have two different HVAC systems , manual & automatic. The automatic system doesn't have a resistor assembly , has a blower motor control processor. Do you know how to test automotive electrical circuit's ?

My GMC Envoy keeps blowing the 10 amp fuse for the heaters.I unplugged the front blower fan but it still does it. Is the other fan in the consul?

The fuse isn't for blower motor. I saw a fuse 39 and fuse 36 both 10 amp, both for hvac. I don't know which one is blowing? One fuse is for actuator doors under the dash, the other is battery voltage to hvac control module. One is hot all the time, the other goes hot with key on.
What is model year? Does it blow as soon as you turn on the key? Any applicable hvac trouble codes? About all I can do is track wiring circuits.

Heater fan not working - 30 amp HVAC fuse blows out repeatedly when replaced. Where should I look for root cause? Have dash disassembled, but can't see any bare wires anywhere behind radio/climate...

Try unplugging the blower motor, heater control unit and blower motor resistor. Replace the fuse then reconnect the items 1 by 1 and see what pops the fuse.

Rad/hvac fuse keep blowing

Your Blower motor is going bad drawing to much amperage if you keep replaceing the fuse you can melt the connector where it plugs into the motor and make it harder to repair because now you have to repiar the wiring. You should also replace the Blower motor resistor when you replace the Blower motor . They work together and somtimes when the blower motor goes bad it damages the resistor internally and fails right after you put the new motor in .

Is there a blower motor relay or fuse on a 1995 Mazda Protege lx?

That fuse sounds like it powers the ac compressor.
The blower motor usually takes a 30 amp fuse.
Does the blower motor work if you hook it to direct voltage ?

1992 gmc pickup keeps blowing heater fuses I replaced the blow motor and it keeps blowing

Have you replaced the blower resistor . some times they can cause the fuse to blow . You may need a muiltmeter to test the current draw on the blower motor circuit. the draw should be less then half of the rated fuse .( 20 amp fues draw is less then 10 amps) You did not say but does the blower work on high only or the lower speeds with out blowing the fuse ? if it does work on low or high with out blowing the fuse i would replace the blower resistor

Blown Fuse

Hello Kilwillie.
Anytime a fuse blows the circuit is being overloaded.
There are a couple of fuses that control your blower. The 30 amp fuse link and a 10 amp fuse for the blower motor relay.
If it is the 30 amp the blower system needs to be checked for the cause of the short.
Positive battery voltage goes to the blower motor and the control switch routes the ground circuit through a resistor to give various fan speeds.
Most common will be the blower motor itself having worn motor shaft bushings or an internal motor short. This will require motor replacement. Also have seen where a mouse has built a nest and it gets caught in the blower fan causing it to overlooad.
If the wire after the blower was shorting to ground the blower would come on high speed and not be your problem

And if the fuse is the 10 amp it appears the fault may lie in the blower motor relay. I believe that would be the only logical solution according to the wiring diagram.
