| alright i have an '85 cabriolet. now my fan for the heater/ac blower keeps blowing a fuse. now the 20amp fuse is alright.(the one actuallly for the blower) the one next to it on the right, was a 15amp that was blown. when i took out the fuse it looked to be a really old fuse that looked like an og fuse. i put a new 15amp fuse back in. it worked!! i turned on the car and went to work and truned off the car with the heater on. after work i go out to the car and it doesn't work again. it's blown again. i look in the manual and it said there should be a 10amp fuse there. i put in a 10amp. it works great! wel i go home, i turn off the car with the heater on. for s and g's i turn is back on to see if the fuse blows. well it does! now i'm getting pissed. i put a 15amp fuse back in and now i'll see what happens in the morning. it's my last fuse and i don't want to waste it, so i'll see what happens tomorrow. Now why would this be happing?? i need help and i'm getting really frustrated. what's the deal? |

| '85's weren't prone to electrical problems (their only recall was fuel pump related), but it sounds like you have one. The most likely culprits are a bad switch, a bad ground, two exposed wires touching each other, and the fuse box itself. |

Another recall was the fuel tank replacement, but that is not on-topic...
I think it might be possible too that the fan is drawing too much amperage. The fan and/or the resistor pack need to be tested. |
