Most likely you have a seized or shorted blower motor and continuing to try
it will fry the resistor and the switch.

Subject: Heater blower

Does the list think that a siezed front heater blower motor will necessarily
blow fuses? My motor does and when you turn the switch to postion 1, nothing
happens. Positions 2 and 3, I can audibly hear and feel a load on the
alternator/engine but still no motor turning.

My thoughts are two things: the bad grounds I know exist or the blower motor
resistor. I thought I had seen a page on troubleshooting the motor in the
Bentley but I cannot find it now.

Opinions?
