yes, I tested everything. The brushes on the old blower was out, and there were a few other problems so I went ahead and ordered a new one, but got the old one working for a little while as I waited for the new blower motor. By the time it came in the motor had stopped working again, i bench tested it once more and it doesn't work. Then I removed the squirrel fans and put them on the new motor, and put it in and nothing. Checked the fuses ect. Checked the regulator it is bad.
What I was thinking about doing is wiring it to an auxiliary fuse and running it off of something else. Granted something that won't blow the fuse because now it's running the blower motor too.
