Subject:      Ground wire from heater blower warm
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

The heater blower motor on my 82 Westy draws my system voltage down from
13.9V to 10.9V when running at high speed according to my VDO volt meter and
my handheld VOM. I thought that I might have a poor connection at the ground
termination clusters under the dash so i pulled the fuse panel down out of
the way to have a look. I noticed that the ground connection from the blower
was warm to the touch and would even spark when I reatatched it. Does this
sound like a short in the motor itself? I'm stumped.
