I always thought it was odd that the driver's side was louder when the heat was on it's highest setting. I do find that there is more heat on the driver's side but there is still decent flow on the passenger side.


Now the question is - should I put a fuse into the passenger side blower and see what happens??? Or just leave it as is??? (I'm happy with how the heating / fresh air blowers work as is)

Perhaps someone has modded the system in the past to work this way and I shouldn't mess with it....

You could simply put the fuse in and see what happens. But the fact that it is missing is a RED flag. I would remove that blower from the car and bench test it with 12 volt source first. As I mentioned these blowers often freeze up and for this reason a bench test would be wise. Also while on the bench try to spin the squirle cauge by hand before you apply power. If it does not spin by hand DO NOT apply power.

The fact that the driver blower works is a very GOOD sign and indicates the rest of the heat system is working. You are way ahead of the game knowing this.
