Hello, All.  Fuse #33 (30A) keeps popping a few minutes after I turn on the heater.  Fan motor was making kind of a squeeling/grinding sound before fuse blew.  Picked up a used fan motor from ebay and replaced the old one.  No more squeeling but fuse still keeps popping!

Any ideas???

Climate control, or manual heaters?

Also, is the scuttle drain full of water?

It may help or may not help, but on mine a few years ago the wiring to the air con pump had chaffed through. It only blew the fuse when the climate control was on.

also has the voltage regulator burnt out

1. It's climate controlled.  I'd have to check on the scuttle drain (I don't know what that is).  Didn't check the voltage regulator but I recently ruined a 2-month old battery due to a seized AC compressor.  Tech said that the plates on the battery got affected due to the heavy load added by the seized compressor??? Can't even get the car started - couldn't crank the engine because the AC compressor was keeping everything too tight.  Had to change to a shorter belt to leave out the compressor.  Was going to save it as a summer project.

Really appreciate everyone's comments...  THANKS!!!
