Thanks a lot guys!

wow - fast turnaround - thanks!

Yes, I was wondering about why this particular fuse might be drawing lots of current at this point in time. Doesn't the same blower motor also push air around for the Air Conditioning too? Hence, shouldn;t someone in Florida have a similar problem?

There is a guy just south of me that has developed some repair manuals and he is selling a Heater motor "kit" with a pair of new brushes. Not being an electrician, I have no idea if this would solve the high-current-draw problem (i.e., would worn brushes draw more current?), and also reduce the amount of money I have to spend. I have heard that blower motors are quite expensive and he charges $30 for the "kit", including the "Blower Motors for Dummies" manual (something I would definitely need).

The URL for this kit is:

Thanks again.
