Tige Touch blower not working but manual switch does

[barry1me]

hey guys I pulled off the panel today under the dash and manually turned on the blower switch....it worked! But the blower switch on my Touch does not work. Any idea why?

Same thing happened to me...in addition to my heater not turning off and my bilge not working unless I manually turned on with switch. Had to replace entire relay box. Have your dealer call factory. They are aware of problem. Hope this helps

There is a known issue with both the blower and blige as it relates to blowing fuses. My dealer indicated that the fix was to change the fuse size (I believe the correct size to change to is 20 and 10 amp respectively). Mine has not blown yet, but I am going to change them this weekend.

my blower fuse was popped. it was a 7.5 amp. dealer changed out to 10 and said it would fix the issue.

the heater would not shut off at 3hrs. ended up pulling the fuse to get it to stop running. dealer has a new fusepanel waiting to go in. said it would fix the issue and is apparently somewhat common.

Same thing happened to me. Dealer fixed the blower during my first service visit -- it was a blown fuse. A week later, the blower stopped working again. I spoke with the dealer today and they walked me through how to troubleshoot it. First, check the manual switch for the blower under the dash. If that works, then it should be the blower fuse that connects to the Tige Touch. He recommended replacing it with a 10 amp fuse. If the manual switch does not work, then it is likely the other blower fuse, which is also under the dash. I will take a look at mine this weekend and, hopefully, get it fixed. Also, the dealer told me that the blower comes on automatically when you start the engine and is supposed to cut off after 3 minutes. He said it most likely is staying on and then overheating. So, he recommended getting in the habit of cutting off the blower and not leaving it running continuously.

my manual switch works and I have ran the blower straight for several hours with no issue....I dont think there is anything wrong with blower, and I think the issue is all in the touch system. Do you know where this fuse is on the tige touch?

There is a black rectangular fuse box, with a cover, that is to the left of my set of manual switches. If you take the cover off, there is a line of fuses and they should be labeled. I had the same problem that you are having and replacing the blown 7.5 amp fuse solved the problem.

Went out to where I store my boat today and it was the fuse that goes with the Tige Touch. Manual blower switch worked fine. Replaced with a 10 amp fuse and Touch blower is working now.
