How many amps should a blower motor draw?

How many amps should a blower motor draw?

How many amps does a blower motor use? 20 amps for a blower on high sounds correct. 20 amps is a lot of current, doesn’t take much resistance to drop voltage a noticeable amount. For example, 20 Amps through a tenth of an ohm resistance would give a voltage DROP of 2 volts (V = I x R, so 20 Amps times .

Where to find a blown fuse on a Dodge Ram?

Use fuse box diagrams and labels to locate a potentially blown fuse. You’ll find these diagrams either on the panel for the fuse box, in a service manual or online. Identify the fuse connected to your problem circuit and pull it from the fuse box. A blown fuse doesn’t always leave burn marks on or around the fuse.

Where does the power go in a blower motor?

For each higher speed, power flows through one less resistor. Some car makers run blower motor power through the fan speed switch first, then through the blower motor resistor and then to the blower motor and ground. Other car makers reverse that and run power to the blower motor first and terminate ground at the blower fan speed switch.

Where is the power distribution center on a Dodge Ram?

The power distribution center is located under the hood in your engine compartment. Just look for a black box with a removable cover. The junction box is located in the cab at the end of the dash on the driver’s side. To access it, you’ll need to open the driver’s side door and pry off the small cover.

Why does my GM blower motor resistor keep failing?

In some cases, the heat is so high that it melts the connector. This is common on late model GM vehicles. If you discover a melted connector, do NOT attempt repair. Purchase an upgraded pigtail and splice it into the harness along with a new blower motor resistor.
