My radiator fan keeps going out........anyone know the cause of this. The fuse for the fan or whatever keeps blowing out within 3 minutes of the fan working. Anyone know what could be causing this problem?

yeah, that happened with me

i just bought a new car. lol

try using a fuse with less volts. because on my 98 GT the fuse kept blowing out for my car seat and it supposobly took 35v, but i just put 30v in it, and its been fine since.

try that, only other problem i can think of is a ground.

For one fuses are measured in amps...

Your issue had nothing to do with the fuse. A 35 amp fuse would take longer to blow than a 30 amp. You can run a lower amp fuse with no issues but never replace with a higher amp than recommended.

To the original poster...the fan may be bad. Post up more about what it is doing. Does it run constantly at start-up or is it off then come on after the car is warm?
