Blowing AGC Bussmann fuses on fan/horn circuit

Today 12:58 PM - permalinkMLI
My # 393 Kirkham SC has a single SPAL fan VA18-AP70/U - 4ma 12v. A large amp meter shows In Rush on start up of 59.4 amps and 14.5 amps running.
Yesterday the 30 amp AGC blew after a month of driving 17 mi each way to visit my wife in an assisted living facility. I’m old and deaf but watch the cars amp meter, engine water temp gauge and blow horn occasionally to test fuse not blown.
A first time try with a 30 amp slow blow 32 V MDL 25 amp Bussmann failed going 3 miles each way to the drug store today. The water temp got up to 110 C at a stop light and its over 90 here in eastern Pennsylvania today. Any thoughts would be appreciated!! I did figure out that taking the steering wheel off facilitated getting my old head and hands up closer to the the damn fuse block above the steering column and roof of foot box. Thanks, Jerry
