i recently noticed one of my fans were not working so I trouble shot this issue and the wire burned along with one of my ignition wires. someone did install a aftermarket alarm and used t-taps at this location. Is it possible that cutting some of the strands caused the wires to burn up or could there be bigger issues? I just picked up a fused link to fix the fan wire what size fuse should i use for one fan. the fuse under the dash is a 25 for both fans. I dont want to have too small of a fuse and blow it all the time and I dont want one too big in case there is an issue with the fan pulling too much current.

 

I did a 20 amp fuse and it blew so heading out to get a fan motor

 

Very good rob2000gt let us know how that project turns out.

 

Fan was bad but still worked sucking too much current. Advance auto Parts had a motor in stock without having to rewire just plug and play. It is now working great 10 minutes to change fan motor. What I dont understand is why it fried the wire instead of blowing the fuse. Any ideas

 

Maybe someone who worked on it before has installed a higher amp. fuse than is suppose to be in there.

 

what location was the wire that burned? they have fusable links near the battery for the fans

 

it was up by the starter relay area inside the large loom

 

under the dash there is a 25 amp fuse in the fan slot when I was testing I pulled the fuse out and the passenger fan turned off but I dont know if the driver side is fused there. I need a diagram to see why they are double fused and it still burned the wire.
