That's an interesting idea. The FSU supposedly consumes the
most power when the blower motor is set to the LOW settings
(simply because it has to dissipate the power as heat), so,
we could prevent excess current by fusing... say with a 10A
fuse, the blower motor (which is said to consume 5 to 6 A).


It should generate less heat at low speeds, if it is PWM.
