It's rated by color from Dodge.
I'll dig up the actual color/rating tomorrow.

Bernd,
Thanks for the schematics.
You are correct in saying that the fuse on the Viper is a 20A fuse, but
that is the fuse for the relay circuit. The fan itself is protected by
a 16ga. fusible link. Does anybody know the amp. level a 16ga. fusible
link is designed to melt at? Thanks, James
