Problem Circuit
When I got my current vehicle, the fuse for the blower motor had obviously melted out its receptacle in the fuse panel. The previous owner had wired in an inline type glass fuse. This owners manua...

do you have the electrical schematics for the heater circuit ?
many of these blower motors are multiple windings
speed is selected by the switch chossing the correct winding sequence
if this replacement motor was mis-wired when installed
it could create this problem
power use will be higher with engine running and 14+ volts from alternator
FYI 'Society of Automotive Engineering' wire is smaller than the same gauge Commercial wire
the problem 'appears' to be reistance at the fuse holder creating heat
i saw a similar problem, where a fuse holder with 40 amp load and 60 amp fuse and 4 guage wiring
the fuse was melting, from the blades getting hot
'Chinese' fuses with poor medal bad electrical conductivity aka too much resistance,
in the fuse 'blades'
