OK it's done! I put in the AC DELCO blower motor and now it does not burn the ground wire anymore to the blower speed control circuit. The motor WAS bad. The only thing is the new motor came with a shorter blower wheel height. Mine is a taller cage. So I swapped my old cage and put it on the new motor to keep the high air flow.
My only concern is that I noticed when the old cage is on the motor and spun by hand, the old cage has a slight wobble. The new cage does not when I try the same test. However when the motor is installed there is no rubbing or noise at all. Then fan works great and smooth.
My last QUESTION on this, is should I worry about the wobble on this plastic original cage (34 years old) that is the proper large size in height? Or is everything OK now? Like I said no more blowing even a 15 amp fuse when I think these motors take 20 - 25 amp fuses normally and no noise or rubbing and works smooth.

If the plastic cage wobbles now it probably wobbled on the original motor and that didn't cause any issues....I would leave it be and find a new problem to work on...:)

Makes perfect sense. Now to get to replacing my emergency brake light bulb. Always nervous tackling something I never did before. I don't like damaging anything. Thanks for all your help (y)

This is a great forum to ask any questions you have, it's better to ask before than after and no questions are dumb. There will always be others who learn from the answers to the questions you ask

Yes indeed. I did ask that question on another thread. I was told to pop off the wood trim bezel (pull towards self) and then unbolt or unscrew the idiot light module and then pull out slightly to get to the bulbs in the back of it. Sounds easy but I still have fears about upsetting things that have been untouched for so long.

I remember that, you could have continued your thread about blowing fuses with the post you started this thread with. That would be helpful to others to see what the fix was for the problems that you were having.

True. Is there a way to delete threads? I will do that to avoid confusion.
