    30 amp fuse blowing out

    guys the 30 amp fuse in the underhood fuse box keeps blowing on me. The label says its C/F so im assuming its cooling fan. I checked the wires leading to them to make sure none are frayed or exposed they all check out fine. any idea why this might be happening???thanx

    Assuming the wires are all fine, there may be a short in the fan motor itself.

    looked through the chilkton manual yesterday (wasnt m uch help) but the "c/f" is the condensor fan- now im lost. the fans directly behind the radiator are the cooling fans, where is the condensor fan? the manual didnt have anything on the condensor fan, except for a brief definition. couldnt give me an exploded view or a location for it. help

    The Condensor fan is part of your A/C.

    the complete a/c system is not covered for some reason.happen to know where it is in the 7g also can it be disabled without affecting driveability of the car?-say unplug it ,so it wont cause the fuse to keep blowing

    The condeser fan on our cars is the fan that is closest to the battery on the passenger side. If you disconnect this fan your car will overheat, one fan is not enought to keep it cold if over 80. I had done some experiments, also, your trotle will be affected because the fan is also connected to the temp sensor on the engine.

    Chec kEbay for a new fan. I think I saw one the other day.

    The fan electronics wise from an eclipse will work, but the actual fan mountings may be different since they use a different radiator then ours. I'm sure you can come up with a way to mount it without much work, but depends on how good you are at that sorta stuff.
