Why would my heater fan fuse be getting hot?

Motor drawing to much current because it might be on it`s way out or seizing up, assuming it is only heating up when motor is running

Use wd-40 on the blower axle when it spins !
If you can take it off car it is easy to dissmandle it and make it brand new
Just be carefull with the fan cylinder . It is balanced and is should not loose it !
Is it an early one with 2 speeds or a late with 3 ? There is a watt resistor for the speeds too .. this part must be checked too !
