Fan slider blowing fuses

Featured Replies

Any good electronics part store should have one. Radio Shack may even have something close to it. Get one rated for 200 volts. Digikey is another place but they may have a minimum price per order.

The meter I have cost less than 10$ so I will hold on that. If it was system wide would I see other fuses blow not just the fan.

 

When I put this fan that is smoking in , I tested it and it ran fine. Is it possible that the bad resistor made the fan go bad?

 

 I probably need professional help.

The resistors only add a series resistance to the circuit which reduces the available voltage to the blower motor and that won't damage it. Things that will damage the motor are things like restricting the rotation of the motor shaft or overvoltage conditions from the alternator. If the alternator is working in the normal output range and nothing is slowing down the motor by rubbing on the fan cage then a new motor should fix you up.

 

To see if your meter will block DC voltage put it in the AC voltage function mode and measure the voltage of a battery. If it blocks DC you won't get a reading in the AC mode. The reading will jump briefly showing the connection spike in voltage but then drop to zero volts.
