Hi all,

first real problem with my fabia.

here is 80+ most of the year, and when not, it rains quite a bit (Emily is coming real soon) so we depend on our AC a lot, for comfort and safety.

now my Air conditioner blower is out (so no AC) and i checked the fuse, it was burned to a crisp, almost completly glue to the fusebox, i removed it with a small flat head screwdriver and patience, but i put in a new fuse (25 amp) and the thing melted instantaneously after i engaged the Air blower (not the AC)

i think it might be the Blower, since previously it started making squeaquing sound, i though it was light on oil so i removed it and sprayed with DW40, it worked for some time then it started squeaking again, but after a week it went away. now i think that the little sleeves that support the rotor might have been damaged and worned out, and the electronic terminals might have touch and gone into short.

what do you guys think, could it be that or could it be something else?

Sounds like a seized blower motor.

the blower turns and blows air, but in less than 5 seconds the fuse hets hot enough to melt the plastic.

any ideas ?

If the blower is partially siezed it will draw more current and will eventually blow the fuse. If the fuse is getting hot but not blowing it is likely that the fuseholder is damaged. When the fuseholder melts you often get a reduced contact area and it will gets hot.
