Does anyone else love it when you are trying to figure out a problem and you just can't seem to grasp the issue? Finally you realize that it's been starring you in the face all along!

This is why I love working on automotive electrical, couldn't find why I was blowing fuses when I wasn't finding any shorts in the system. Turns out on the 3 position rotary fan switch I mistakenly had a ground wire hooked up which shouldn't have even been there DUH!:erm:
As soon as I removed this wire no more blown fuses and now the heater works good!

I'm just glad it didn't take more than an hour to figure it out.
