Problem blowing fuses

[240sx_in_209]

OK well i did an electric fan swap. i think it was from an older ford Taurus. well i did the swap.. using an 30amp relay and a 30 amp inline fuse. Well wired it all up and worked great.. that was a while back ago but now.. for some odd reason its blowing fuse like every week? anyone help me why? also the wire i jused to wire it was 14 gauge automotive wire dont know if it helps

I think the Taurus fan pulls more than 30 amps on startup. You should really use a larger relay, larger fuse, and definitely larger wire. I would run a 40 amp relay, same size fuse, and at least 10 gauge wire if it were mine.

Or the fans windings are shorting> Try a larger fuse, fan and wire, if nothing get a new fan.

but this has only been happen shortly.. I have had it with the electric fans for 10 months already its just weird that it happen out of nowere... just blowing fuses every week

Check you wiring, you obviously have a short or, get a new fan, because that fan is shorting itself out.

Ya if it worked before and now it's blowing fuses something happened in the wiring or the fan itself is shorting.

alright thanks guys.. ima try a bigger relay and fuse and thicker wire.. if that dont change anything they i guess its a new fan

also does can anyone tell me what temperature should the fan turn on? ima do it the right way with a termo switch.. before it just ran off the fuel pump signal

180 is a good temp
