Can you test the motor alone. A shorted motor winding would be
a likely cause of fuse blowing.

Hey Sam,

Thanks for the response.

I disconneted the motor and slapped a meter across it and it reads 0.1
ohm across the motor terminals. Have I found the smoking gun?

What's a more normal motor reading?

What voltage is the motor supposed to run on? DC or AC? It does sound
low but not totally out of the quesiton depending on the answers to the
above questions.
