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 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.

Why would you have to cut the wires????
Simply remove the fuse and connect the ammeter. You guys make your
lives so difficult


Take a blown fuse and use it for a test connector with a cheap
50-0-50A meter. Then you can just plug it in in place of the fuse to
make the test. You won't even have to worry about the polarity. You
can use a high current shunt, & a digital meter if you want more
accuracy.
