Re: installed fan switch..176*.. but not turning on fan?

mother ****er I found the secondary relay and wiggled it, the fan kicked on for a second then shut off... I tryed to jump the wires( said to try it on a post to find a bad relay) then I heard a pop and no more working fan even if wiggled. None of the fuses on the panel are blown and the organge fuseable link from the battery is good. . Anyone know where another fuse could be? I checked buy the blower motor( where the pop seemed to come from) and I cant find anything...........................pleeeeeaaaaassssseeee help. thanks
