Hi All,

On my wife's new to us 84 when the front heater fan is on high and
she runs the wipers, the associated fuse blows HARD!  Apparently this has
been an ongoing issue with this van as the plastic fuse cover shows "melt"
marks at the fuse (#10?).

First guess is that the fan is pulling too high an amperage, but wanted to
check with the list and see if this is a known issue.

Jack
