[86 911 Targa]

I did my initial research on the best 911 for me, and now I am settling into learning about the car's specifics. I recently replaced the Radio in the car, and the following began to happen:

Occasionally, the AC blower fan will just stop. The only way I've been able to get it going again is to pull the first fuse (closest to the windshield) and reseat it. After this, the blower reengages and for the most part will stay on until the car is restarted a few times, but it will also sometimes stop in the middle of driving it.

In the interest of full disclosure, when I first replaced the radio, that first fuse (a 16 amp) popped a few times and had to be replaced. I re-examined the wiring near the radio and redid my work, and the fuse has stayed intact since. Also, the manual states that the first fuse should be a 25 Amp, but the one in place was (and still is) a 16 Amp fuse when I purchased it.

So my questions are:

1. Is the correct fuse for the first position (windows, etc) a 25 Amp or a 16 Amp?

2. Being technically inclined but having little knowledge of electricity and wiring, what is my next step with the fuse/AC issue (I have spare fuses, wiring, and a volt meter).

Thank you for your valuable feedback!

Here you go.
