SOS!!!.....melted fuse....

[insaneindian]

heres the scenario.....
drive my 2002 galant to work with ac on, blowing cold, tings nice.
start up to go home, turn on ac, engine steps up, fan comes on but no breeze.
turn it off and on abt 4 times until I get fed up and drive home in the heat.
get home and check the fuse box in the dash and find that the 30A fuse for the blower has melted, not blown eh....melted!!!

can anyone suggest a possible cause and or DIY solution, or maybe a good electrician to sort it out???

Thanks in advance mitsu gurus.

tallboy is my usual go to.

but in your case. only things i can suspect to leak a current with high enough amperage to melt a 30A is starter, or alternator.

hmmm...what could cause that current leak though, I mean it was fine one minute then next minute im looking at a twisted fuse....

did the fuse melt or the socket also?

If any wires grounding enough to overheat then it's possible. Also it's possible your blower motor is going bad and that may also cause resistance enough to overheat.

soundboy 64 : fuse and socket melted too. was told I need to get a heavy dury external fuse holder.

mishi : got the blower motor checked, its in good condition. have to go back on Monday to try to resolve it again....

Problem solved fellas!!!!

turns out the relay for the blower was going bad but not showing any signs.
swapped in new relay and is cold breeze again......
thanks for the advices
