Yes sir. That 08 Jeep Patriot of my granddaughter's lost power to the heater fan. 10 amp fuse is good.....and plainly not enough amperage to run the fan. I can't figure out where it gets power from. For now we ran another wire to power it. Help?

Ok Randy. I have bad news. The power for the blower motor comes directly from the TIPM (under hood fuse box is a computer on most Chrysler of this era). These are know to melt the connector on the bottom of the fues box for both the blower motors and the fuel pumps. I bet if you find the blower supply wire on the TIPM it is overheated as well as the pin on the TIPM. Which is why you have no power. What you did is the more reliable repair. Make sure you have a 40a fues inline as close to the battery as possible to protect your new circuit. Here is a wiring diagram with the pinouts if your curiosity makes you dig in deeper.

Hey Chris love the hackle pliers in the stuff you sent me. Used some of the thread in there to also tie a few Perdigons. Tonight was cicada night at the vise. View attachment 454212
