If it blows immediately after turning the fan on, there must be a short. If it takes a few seconds, the motor could need to be oiled, unrestricted (if something is stopping the squirrel-cage from turning), or possibly replaced. Don't go with a larger fuse; you'll burn up the wiring.

    Thanks. I am thinking it is a shorted wire now as well.

SOURCE: Blower Fan will not blow, we have already replaced Heater Control

you need to replace the fan ...its under the hood on the passenger side held in bt 3 screws and one plug this is the only motor on that side of the vehicle and only takes a half hour to change out

SOURCE: 20 amp fuse in the box under hood that keeps blowing

Does it only do this when the heat or A/c is on full blast.. ( I had a few of my customers with this problem and they needed a new blower motor..)

your fuelpump could be causing the fuse to blow as it may be seizing up

SOURCE: my 94 ford explorer keeps blowing the 30 amp EEC

There has to be a short in the EEC. My advice would be to take it to a mechanic you don't want to be playing with electronics if you don't have the expertiese. It's a good way to fry more systems

It is the fuel heater, All you have to do is unplug it.a4c0d50.gif

Testimonial: "Thanks for the diagnosis. It's disappointing that our local Ford service will not advise to help get it running, even to make it in for service."

I have a 2000 Lexus GS400. The fan is not blowing at all for heat/ac. Is that a fuse?

Check the 50 amp heater fuse under the hood, if it's ok go directly to the fan under the glove box and remove the connector from it, test the motor by putting a hot jumper wire to one of the motor terminals and ground the other side with another jumper, if the motor runs in either direction replace it.

2000 JIMMY 4.3 WONT START AND KEEP BLOWING MAIN 40AMP FUSESE

What all does that fused supply B+ voltage too ? Do you know ? That would be your first thing to find out ! Do you know what a electrical distribution diagram is ? Do you know how to test electrical circuits with a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter ? Do you know what a short to ground is ?
Which fuse ? IGN A - 40 amp ,under hood fuse / relay box ? This fuse powers the Starter Relay and Ignition and Start Switch
Does your vehicle have a manual or automatic transmission ? The starter relay could be shorted inside , It's also located in the under hood fuse box . If you pull the relay out of the box it's plugged into an look on the bottom of it you would see four sets of numbers ! 30 & 87 an 85 & 86 . If you were to jump 30 to 87 in the relay box the starter should spin the engine over , not start an run just spin ! 85 & 86 is the control side . Could be the ignition switch !
That 40amp fuse powers a lot of subsystems !

Here is a web site for free diagrams !
http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. year , make , model an engine , Under system click on electrical distribution , under sub system click on power distribution . Then click the search button .Click blue links one at a time . First blue link scroll down to the second diagram . You will see Ign A 40 amp fuse at the top of the page .you will also see it powers the igintion switch ,look at last part of ignition switch , when in start or run that 40 amp fuse powers all those other fuse's plus three relays i see there also . A/C compressor relay , rear window defroster relay ,daytime running lights . Any one of those circuits could have your short . You need to isolate the circuits , pull fuse's till the fuse doesn't blow !

A/C and Heater Problem

Well,you eliminated the resistor,so it probably means the blower motor has shorted out.Either that or something has gotten into the blower wheel and jammed it. If you can bypass the resistor and just put 12 volts into the motor,do it.But don't hold it long,as a direct short can cause a fire without a fuse to blow for safety.
In other words,prepare to buy a new heater blower motor. don-ohio

1998 JIMMY KEEP BLOWING #6 FUSE AT DRIVERS INSIDE FUSE BLOCK WHEN ACTIVATING BLOWER MTR. ACTUALLY NOTICED, DO BELIEVE,ONLY WHEN CAR IS RUNNING.

You have a bare wire somewhere either in your instrument cluster or under the hood where the blower motor is. It's located on the passenger side behind your computer it's easy to inspect the wires there cause they are all exposed.If a bare wire is showing just tape up with electrical tape or duct tape to keep it from arking out. If not that check that aground wire isn't fastened somewhere under the hood or on firewall. Check wires from fuse box all the way through the firewall could be dangerous. Also make sure you have the right amp fuse in if it tells you to use a 15 or 20 or 30 amp fuse make sure you have that one in.A lower number fuse will heat up and blow everytime.

Relay/resistor heater blower

There are two fuses for the fan. One is probably a 20 Amp in the fuse panel in the cab and marked "Heater". or "Heater/AC" The second is under the hood may be marked Heater, Blower, or Fan and should be 30 Amp. The one in the cab supplies switched 12 volts to the fan speed switch. The one under the hood supplies the 12 volts to the relay. The relay is normally energized by the 12 volts through the 20 Amp fuse in the cab and through the switch. I think you find that the fan has the normal speeds except for missing HI with the underhood fuse removed, and will turn off with the ignition that way. There is no hazard in operating it that way but you may want to replace the resistor/relay assembly before it gets too cold. The relay is a pretty trouble free device in most cases, maybe you can find a deal on a good one at a junkyard.

The whole idea with the relay under the hood started back in the Sixties believe it or not. There is considerable voltage drop in the wiring between the fan switch and the blower fan motor. By adding the relay under the hood right next to the motor, the voltage drop was reduced, both by the shorter wire, and by using heavier wire to boot. The motor gets really close to the full system voltage when the relay is closed. In your case where the relay keeps the fan running, it can drain a battery rather quickly too!

Heater fan

There is another fuse box on the drivers side of the dash that can not be opened unless you open the drivers door because it is located on the end of the dash. The legend for which fuse is for what purpose is on the lid that comes off when you turn the lock mechanism counter clock wise. I found this while searching for the fuse for the 4wd
