Hello,
Sometime over the weekend the 25amp fuse for my heater and A/C blew (fuse 8). I replaced the fuse and the heater ran for a second on the new fuse, but when I clicked over to defrost, the fuse blew again. The heater and defrost worked perfectly fine until this weekend.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
I searched the forum and was unable to find any posts with this particular problem. If I have missed something, a link would be kindly appreciated.
Thank-you.

If the blower runs fine with the heater off and it also blows cold air when the AC is on, it may be an issue with the heater resistor. It is in the front trunk along the firewall and is indicated by the purple arrow in the picture.

It would be a good time to check for a mouse nest. The heater resistor can be trouble.

The resistor only play a part on fan speeds 1,2,3. The resister is bypassed when you have the fan on the high setting.
and funny. I think that is one of my pictures. I'm glad I'm helping out, even if I'm not around.

I feel good that I even recognized it.
Please "borrow" all that you can to help everyone you can.

Can someone show me that schematic?
I don't have access to that readily available to those anymore.
