I have a 1990 chevy c3500 heater fuse keeps blowing

I have a 1990 chevy c3500.I just recently purchased it.The heater wasn't working.I checked the fuse and it was blown.I replaced it and turned on the heater.It lasted a minute and the fuse blew again.I replaced the blower motor because it sounded like it might be going out.I turned it on once again and the fuse blew within minutes.Any suggestions as to why it might be blowing?

SOURCE: htr fuse blown.no heater or blower working.blows fuse instantly

I would have taken it back immediatly and told them that it worked before and oesnt now since they worked on it and you would appreciate it if they at least looked at it.

If they refuse, then never go back and you will have to trace the problem using a voltemeter.

Make sure the fuse is the right Amperage.

Buy a repair manual from a auto parts saled store and see what else connects to that fuse, you could have a bad blower motor, or some other wire that got damaged durring the clutch install.

good luck

SOURCE: heater fuse keeps blowing

The brushes and armature are worn on blower motor drawing too many amps. You need a new one. they are easy to put in since the plastic inner fender flexes.

SOURCE: heater blower only blows on low

Check the resistor block in the heat duct. It controls the fan speeds. There will be a small frmoveable piece in the duct with 2 or 3 wires going to it. They go to different combinations within the resistor plate to make the motor run at different speeds.

1994 Chevy C3500 6.5 TD. It keeps blowing the gauges fuse as soon as the key is turned on.

Question edited for clarity, add maker and fix typos.

You have a dead short somewhere. Look for a chaffed wire where the wires go through the bulkhead, or somewhere up behind the gauges.

I have a 1990 chevy cheyenne c2500. my brake lights,parking lights and blinkers arent working and when i try to replace the fuse,it blows immediatly. what could the problem be?

What is the amp rating on the fuse that keeps blowing? I looked at wiring for stop lamps, 15 amp fuse. Unplug connector for stop lamp switch, see if the fuse still blows? Also see if anything at connector looks burned or melted.

You could have problem with fuse box, itself. Look at back side of fuse box, see if anything looks burned or melted.

ECM-1 keeps blowing 1990 chevy astro

Without any schematic diagram it sounds like the ECM has a short in it or something the ECM is connected to. Without a schematic for your particular car it is difficult to tell you the EXACT proble. Blown fuses means you are overloading the fused circuit. Just make sure the fuse is the correct size. Thats the best i can do with the Information i have
Good luck

AC isn't working

when a fuse keeps blowing it can only be one of two causes. either the consumer is loading the circuit too much due to a bearing problem or rusty component, or there could be a short circuit to ground. disconnect the blower motor plug connector and turn your a/c on like normal. if it blows the fuse again, replace the blower fan motor. if not, start checking the wiring for any exposed copper that might touch the ground-negative.also inspect all the plug connectors for water damage and corrosion.

I just rebuild my 1990 gmc 4.3 v6 engine and now my heater only blows warm air when befor the rebuild it blew hot I've replaced the water pump thermostat and the heater core was checked I just...

this could be many different issues. you could have a lower degree thermostat, if the block wasn't boiled and flushed you could have coolant restriction in the block causing less flow to the heater core,or you could have put your heater core hoses in reverse flow.

I have a 1990 Chevy C3500 and i have driverside front brake sticking problem. I just changed the caliper and now a little worse, I dont know much about the Computerized ABS System can anyone troubleshoot?

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE CALIPER PINS ARE SEIZING IN THE CALIPER BRACKET. YOU MIGHT WANT TO CLEAN THE HOLES AND MAYBE CHANGE THE FLEX HOSE. EITHER ONE OF THESE COULD CAUSE THIS PROBLEM.
