Hello G-heater fans,
The blower in my 460 works OK but blows fuses -Is this the beginning of the end ?
I have tried 15w but they melt in about two minutes - any ideas ?

look in your handbook to see what else that fuse is for, if you have a/c then the same fuse runs the cooling fan for the a/c if thats running and you have the a/c on then try the fan blower without the a/c on. It could be the electric fan on its way out thats causing the fuse to overheat.

A handbook !! Now that'd be lovely -

The fuse just blows after about 30 secs running and nothing elso on .
I've tried a 15A but I don't want to go heavier in case of fire.

I think I need to join gwoa club -how much do the CDs
cost ?- Any discount for photographers ?
can I do your children / dog / you and the missus in the buff ?

Cheers -Jimmy Mac

According to the owners handbook for the 280GE, fuse F 10 serves the heater blower, relay, heated rear window, automatic transmission: kickdown and microswitch 1st gear, supplementary heater.
