Thanks Jim S.
They do look to be seperate and dedicated circuits; each with it's own relay and fuse. And yes, the right fan and fuse are functioning fine. In fact it's enought to keep to H2O cool enough under most all conditions. I'll try swithching things around and let you know what I learn.
Anybody had similar experience out there??

Michael - 1) Is the fan the only device supplied by that fuse, or are other loads supplied by that same fuse circuit? 2) Is the right fan using the same amp fuse (30 amps)? I assume that it does not blow. Is the right fan also on a dedicated circuit (that is, no other loads)?
The answers to these questions should be available from the print on the fuse cover, or from the schematic in the owner's manual.
If the left and right are identical, and there are no other loads, then you have a short in the motor winding or in the relay. Resistance in the circuit from bad contacts would lower the current draw, and lower the voltage to the fan, but would not blow the fuse. If you can isolate the two relays, and switch them, this might help diagnose the problem.
Good luck.

The 30 amp fuse blows for the left side radiator fan after 20 seconds or so, indicating that the circuit is pulling a little too much current. The blade/motor is free turning. SO; the question is what sources of electrical load have been experienced on these circuits?? Could it be the fuse panel as we've seen in other cars or the relay, or is it likely the motor? Any sources of generic motors for this application ?? Thanks all. Mike |
