How long have you had the fan before having problems? If it is a recent
install, you could be overloading the fuse amperage rating having it
grounded at the headlight terminal. You need to buy a $5.00 relay, and
change your ground to the engine block. I have the same fan, and have had no
fuse problems.

> Hey folks,

> Driving home tonight from work I noticed that my electric fan wasnt
working, which in rush hour traffic on a warm muggy day meant for a close
call with overheating. I got home, checked every thing out and it was the
fuse that had blown. I replaced it, dorve my bro to scouts where it blew
again, and again on the way back. So for some reason my electric fan is
blowing fuses.

> I have a 16" Permacool electric fan wired to the battery and grounded at
the headlight ground. The connections dont look loose, but I didnt get to
shake them around much cause its still raining here at the house. So why
is i blowing fuses? Any ideas?
