The Biggest indication that your motor is seized is normally when it does not turn over at all. You would hear the starter kick in trying to turn the flywheel (major gear in the engine) but it will not turn the pistons. There is ways of unseizing it but as any mechanic will tell you, its easier to get a new motor then spending all that time and labor. As well becarful to much over cranked a dead motor will only result in a dead battery very quickly.

What are two reasons for motor failure?
Assuming you mean electric motors, the causes for failure include seized bearings and worn brushes. If the bearings or bushings are seized, the motor may fail. Most electric fans have thermal fuses, so if the motor seizes and overheats, the fuse blows. If the brushes are worn, then the motor is no receiving electricity and thus cannot turn.

Why does your all wheel drive fuse keep blowing?
The lever that shifts the transfercase from RWD to AWD is most likely seized. Attached to the lever is a motor that selects the gear when you press the button. Since this linkage is seized the motor is forcing extra hard and over-heats which pops the fuse.
