It's not only mine. Many members on this list report
that fuse holder getting VERY hot. My estimate is that
it's using about 40A on the high blower setting.
That's 40x12=480W. That's not totaly impossible, if
you consider even a small home A/C consumes over 1KW.
And the A/C clutch current is also included in this
figure.
Do you know the actual numbers or are you just
wondering about this high value?


cheers,
