My thought as well. Have you measured current draw on a new blower
motor and compared it to one that is installed in a car where the FSU
has failed? that would tell you whether there's any merit to this
idea
or not.

for an "engineer", you're simply not of this planet.


Did you have any suggestions for the OP, or did you just show up to
snipe without contributing anything as per usual?

link times out?


then use the message id within the link, retard.




retard.



You do know that most electrical/electronic components have a maximum
current rating, yes? And that electric motors tend to draw more current
when the bearings are going or they are otherwise subjected to loads
higher than that for which they were designed? Does any of this sound
remotely familiar to you?


don't lecture me on electronics nate.


ooh, or what? ITG gonna kick my ass? Sorry, I'm more interested in
helping the OP than your delicate little feelers.


no, don't lecture me on stuff that you clearly don't have the first clue
about.

see above. retard.




Really, what the will suggested seems to be a logical first step.


if you don't know what the **** you're doing and don't know how to use a
dvm.


WTF is that supposed to mean?


it means that, if you know what you're looking at, a dvm can tell you
most of what you need to know here.



OP can dissect the thing all he wants but it doesn't do him a damn bit
of good to know *what* has failed unless he knows *why* it failed.


all he needs to know, retard, is that the unit failed and that he needs
to replace it. just like a light bulb.

more than that though, i also told the op how they can go about
establishing a permanent solution, but you're too ****ing retarded to
read that or understand it.
