Blowin' Fuses

My brother had the same problem as you.  He would blow the fuse and
the heater blower motor would not work.  I tracked the problem to the
AC clutch which had a short in it.  Once I disconnected the clutch the heater
worked after that.  This may not be your problem but you never know.
