Volkswagen: VW Polo internal heater fan, volt ohm meter, vw polo


Question
Hi Ron
My 1996 1.6 Polo's heater seems to be working but the fan isn't. The fuse is blown and every time a fuse is replaced it blows. Do you think it is the motor itself or the switch and how can I check and repair?
Thanks

Answer
I would first replace the switch, it's the cheapest and odds are most likely that is the problem.

If not,

I would take a volt/ohm meter.  Set it to OHMS.   Put the black lead to a good ground, and touch it to each wire on the switch.

If each wire goes to infinity, than the motor is bad.
