*cliffs notes* Can a few of you post exactly what size fuze is in slot 36 under hood? Please read on if interested.


Long time listener first time caller. Recently bought an 05 SRT6. She has a salvage title and I'm in the process of a rebuild. I'm at a loss here looking for some help/input.

I'm having ac blower motor issues. I keep blowing fuze 36 under the hood, only when the blower is set higher than speed 2. Thought it was bad blower/resistor, installed new(salvage yard) set and same fault condition happens. I find it hard to believe that this set is also bad. According to the distribution paper fuze 36 is supposed to be 5amp. After blowing 10, 5amp fuzes trying to narrow down exactly what is going on I decide pull the schematic. I keep seeing fuze 36 calls for both 30amp and 5amp. At this point I can't remember what size fuze I pulled out the first time.
​​​​​​Can someone clarify which size is loaded into 36 slot under your hood? I'm attaching pics of under hood fuze paper and schematics where both 5a and 30a are called out. At this point I'm convinced it's supposed to be 30amp. How in the hell can that blower draw less than 5amps?

There's always more to the story which is why I'm down a rabbit hole. Quite a few things going on.

Series of events
1. Welded in new radiator support(battery out)
2.Replaced radiator and ac condenser (no issues had heater on full chooch with no issues to purge rad)
3. Charged ac system.(no issues had AC on full during fill)
4. Pulled the battery and accidentally arched +/- (yes bonehead)
5. Pulled her out a weekend or 2 later and i notice condition exists.



Under hood saying 36 is 5a


Back side in French stating 36 is 30a


Service and wire diagrams speak to 36 being both 5amp a d 30amp

Green one circled is 30amp

I'm guessing it's 30a and the document under the hood is wrong. I was chasing a power lock issue and went through the fuses right around the time I noticed the problems. I think now I remember pulling a large amp fuze and replaced it with what the paper said, 5amp.
I probably made some comments about how stupid the person was who installed the wrong fuze. Joke was on me.

 

That motor HAS to require more than 5 amps, 5 amps is around 65 watts (depending on system voltage). 30 seems a bit much (the engine cooling fan is fused at 50 amps, it's a BIG motor) but I can see fusing it at 30 since the fuse rating is essentially calculated to protect the wiring to the motor.

I don't know for sure what "SET" you replaced, I assume the blower "resistor" as well as blower motor. Salvage parts are fine, but don't assume they are 100% good. The circuit is simple (see the service manual) all you have is the control voltage going to the "resistor", and the feed from the fuse, thru the "resistor" on to the motor.

 

Here is my fuse box label - SRT6.
30 amp is in position #36.

 

Thanks for the response!
i don't know why it took me so long to realize the problem was the fuze size, but I was stuck on what the card was saying.

30amp it is!
