Just put your ammeter into the heater blower fuse connector and you
get the current of the blower motor.

That's an interesting idea.

The fuse for the blower motor is called the "infamous F76" for a reason.

It's a 40 amp fuse

you don't want to try and use a 10/20A meter in the slot of a 40A fuse.
you probably already know that, but just saying.


under the glovebox but it's in a really inaccessible
spot; however, it's right side up, so, the wires going INTO it are
visible from the tips of your feet under the glove box.

So that's a possibility; but you'd have to cut the wires.
