Subject:  heater blower motor

i posted my problem about blowing fuses when the heater blower motor is turned on and received lots of advice. Unfortunately all of it was that this is a pain in the @#%. Before i tear into (literally from what i've been told) the heater box to replace the motor, i'd like to make sure this is definately the problem. Does anyone know how much current the motor should draw in the three modes of operation. (1 2 3) ?

Also does the blower switch have grounds as well as hot wires at it? If so it could be a problem with the switch. thanks
