RE: 5000s heater fuse blows

["Avi Meron" <avi@cosmoslink.net>]

Pat,
Your question requires a rather complicated answer..............not that
simple, here are a few pointers:
* If your blower motor is the cause, most of the time it will not blow the
fuse, just no motor function
* If you decide to replace the blower let us know and we will help you, a
big PITA
* More than likely your problem is in the wiring
* Check a connector, "round" behind the radio inside the car, follow the
wiring diagram, it might be burnet which will increase resistance and blow
your fuse,
* Check the control on top of your evaporator, the Bentley outline the
procedure

Start with the above and let us know,
Good luck,
Take care,

My brother has a 88 5000s wagon which has 166K miles on it.  The 30amp
fuse for the heater blows and he get
no heat and the blower does not come on.  My feeling is that it is the
blower motor or the relay that's the
problem.  I know that there are some sharp Audi guys that have had this
problem.  I would appreciate it
if you could pass along some of your wisdom on correcting this problem.

Thanks alot
