Heater 10 amp still blows

[duluth218mn]

Whats up dsm world, this is my first post on here but have been a member for a while

I am posting a new thread on the 10 amp fuse for heater relay under drivers side keeps blowing in my car, i have read everything on here i possibly can and cant find anything releve t besides this site and it doesnt really come to a conclusion

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/250337-10a-fuse-heater-relay-blowing.html

I have tried unplugging all harnesses connected along dash dealing with the hvac and also tried a different center console control and now i finally changed the whole dash harness and fuse box and still no luck, keeps blown the fuse every time i just turn the key to on, i also unplugged a couple other harnesses after threading again that mite narrow issue but still no luck

Also where is this supposed heater relay located at that might be an issue?

Any suggestions or comments are appreciated

My car is a 96 talon tsi fwd with a/c but no compressor and dont care or have a/c hooked up, just trying to get the heater fan controls and ll working properly

Does it blow the fuse when the blower is turned off and the key turned on as well?

If you have a multimeter it would help to see what kind of amperage you have at the fuse.

Does it blow the fuse when the blower is turned off and the key turned on as well?

STOP!!

Unless you have an Amp-meter, do not attempt that test. You will blow a multimeter (they are not designed for more than 10amp, if even that.)

correction he is correct i have amp clamp. I guess it would be good to use the proper wording.

Sorry

But it still wouldnt read if it is not working. I am not thinking clearly tonight!

Fuse blows when switch is off or unplugged, either way it blows

I might have an amp meter at my place or can get one to check that way, im off tom so im doin more diagnostics to see what more i can get frustrated with

Try unplugging the blower motor and resistor. That most likely is you problem.

If it blows them with with the switch off or on than it sounds like a power wire shorted to ground. You need to start doing continuity to ground test's on all associated wires.

True but it is easier to unplug first just to see if the motor is shorted it will do the samething if it is shorted.

Well i pulled my dash of and startd checking where all the wires for that circut goes and traced it back into the abs module under the metal kick panel on the passenger floor board, we unplugged the harness to it and connected the battery back up and put a fuse in the heater spot on the fuse box and turned the key on, did not blow the fuse, turned heater on and and all speeds worked just fine, now i will be taking apart the abs module to see of any shorts when i go get the rite star wrench for the screws, will post more when i figure out the module

Well i got the abs ecu box apart and dont see any shorts anywhere and came across another thread on here of a guy with a 95 talon tsi awd that was wondering i he could cut and tuck or somehow delete some of the wires for that and got a question asked if he just removed the abs ecu. He didnt answer that so i pm'd him about that question ### im hoping to leave mine out and drive car without it and idc if i have no abs anymore ### im palnnin on doing abs delete anyways

I took my abs pump and module off but I have a 1g. I pulled the fuse on the fuse box and pulled all the wires associated with it like abs wires and wheel sensors. Then I got on craigslist and found a non abs proportioning valve and oem lines for the front and master(the ones that go to the rear are the same on as abs on my car)

Well my abs ecu is off and took car for test run but will see more when i go to work tonite. I do have the prop valve for non abs and the lines so i am eventually goin to get rid of abs period. My main concern was getting my heat controls working and they do now after removing the abs ecu. I pulled that apart and didnt see any shorts so it might still be a short somewhere down the passenger fender or engine bay when it leaves the abs ecu. Alot of stuff will be gone through this spring if hopefully my 4g64/63 build gets done in a reasonable time
