Burning Main Fuses

[MrMarty51]

I did make up a ground and attach it to the blower cage and to the ground lug and it made no difference in the motor or fuse temps.

Is this the fuse you are having problems with?

No.
It is the far back fuse at the back of the fuse/relay box.
It is between that fuse at the arrow and the relay. There are two 30 amp fuses back to back.
I am pointing the IR thermometer at it but the thermometer is blocking the view if it.


I am out away from home until at least this evening, possibly until Sunday or Monday late.
When I get back home I’ll get a picture of the fuse and post it.
The back of the motor is getting so warm that if I held my hand against it for maybe a minute or two, could possibly get a first degree burn from that.
In the whats happening thread I will post a couple of pics of the job I am on.
And I do apologize as I had missed this post from @Glagulator

The wire issue that was mentioned isn't the plug on the motor back a foot or so there should be another.

i had to go to this job at Roberts Montana and have not made it home yet.
When I get back home I will check that other plug.

I had to do to a job at Roberts Montana, when I get back home I will check for that second plug.

I’m not ignoring the forum, or this thread, when I get finished at the end of the day, cant keep my eyes open long enough to reply to any posts.
I am camping on the job.

IIRC the fuses your talking about are the ones for the posts at the back of the fuse center.
