Electric fans burning out the fuses
Those little fuses are not good for a high draw like fans, or fuel pumps.....they get hot and eventually fail....Fans and fuel pump should run relays, and have an inline large fuse for the main relay...

And we have found start up current as the cause, as it nearly always is with electric motor faults. I would swap your fans over, to prove the the fault to a fan motor or EMF from the alternator. I...

BAsque1 you said "fans" which I assume is two. Have you checked the amp load of the fans? Is there a label on the fan or model number where you can see what the fans amp load is suppose to be? ...

On thread :

On your DC motor, as the voltage drops (because of a bad connection) the motor current will increase (but the speed and torque will decrease). ;) Now, I know you're going to look that up, and when...

All of the above is good, but you may want to trash the whole concept of fuses and go with circuit breakers. IMO circuit breakers can better handle the brief startup surge current. Regardless of...

On thread :

As a general rule, a loose or crappy connection reduces current, because it's an increase of resistance. But that rule doesn't apply to electric motors because they're not completely a resistive...

I might suggest you do a major cleanup on your chassis ground connection for the fans. (All grounds On the car would be time well spent - battery too!) Going to a slow-blow fuse for the system that...

Yes, all motors tend to require a surge of amperage at startup. Higher draw with heat. The older style glass fuses are available in “slo-blo” version to compensate for that. I’ve not found the...

Who still drives their cobra in the summer heat
And that is why I sold my Cobra Roadster and got a Daytona Coupe. Driving in the 115/120 degree heat we have in the Summers was just to much for me as I have gotten much older. Even the Coupe gets...
