Got back in the car and noticed the temp had climbed up. So, the fuse probably blew while it was sitting there idling. Couldn't hear that the fans had stopped...
Run the fans, with the engine off, for a few minutes there in the garage to see if it blows again... it probably won't. Also, the "surge current" when all three fans come on at the same time is pretty darn high. Those are "slow blow" fuses, too.
