Hi all-

In the process of installing a new motor somehow the trans cooler line got bent into the passenger side fan, jamming it and I didn't notice. I could hear one fan (probably driver's) working, up until yesterday when it failed and overheated.

I jumped the relay, and nothing happened. I used my volt meter to check the power lead going into the relay (orange wire), and I've got nothing going to the relay. My service manual says theres a fusible link somewhere - anybody know where?

 

Usually they're near the battery area and starter.

 

The fuseable link for my 89 Bird is by the battery.

 

Thanks for responding-

Is it the wire with a standard "blade" style fuse in it? I see one of those by the battery and the fuse looks OK. I was thinking there was an old style wire-type fusible link the manual was referring to

 

The fan fusible link is by the battery. The blade fuse is for the fuel pump.

 

Ok, thanks alot, I'll check it out tonight!
