Is funny because those are on my list too. What's wrong with your heater fan? Mine melted the original fuse and probably needs to be removed and cleaned out.

Not sure BadCo.
Fan was working initially but was drawing a heap of current (you could see the reading on the voltage gauge drop when it was engaged). Last time it was engaged there was a squeal and then.....nothing.
I'd like to think it's only a minor problem but I suspect it's not - more likely something is burnt out or a bearing is done - something likely more serious than a cooked fuse.
Not looking forward to finding out; I think it's going to be a bugger to get to and get out and probably an expensive fix

Cheers, Dave

Assuming it is the same as the civilian 110, not too hard to get out, and most likely, as you suggest, a seized bearing. Possbly just a few drops of oil, but even if it needs replacing should not be a major expense if you can strip the motor and repair it. Since the fuse blew, it is likely the windings are not burnt out.

I had found this the other day when I was wondering how to get it out.
