Chris,
Do not put a fuse higher than the wire rating or you could have an electrical fire instead of just popping a fuse.
No worry's there, John. I may be slow, but I do know a good amount about electrical fires....er.....wait a minute. feeds@yuku.com (SuperCB) http://supercoupeclubofwesterncanada.yuku.com/sreply/10127 Wed, 07 May 2008 12:25:14 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Engine Cooling Fan ]]> http://supercoupeclubofwesterncanada.yuku.com/reply/10126/t/Engine-Cooling-Fan.html#reply-10126 Do not put a fuse higher than the wire rating or you could have an electrical fire instead of just popping a fuse. I looked at a package of 10awg wire at canadian tire today and it shows 30 amps on the package. It is a standard rw90 stiffer wire so if the wire going to the fan is more flexible it will likley be rated higher, finer twisted wires are typically suitable for a higher rating, but that will vary depending on the design of the cable. I am quite sure you have access to... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (vtgecgrs) http://supercoupeclubofwesterncanada.yuku.com/sreply/10126 Tue, 06 May 2008 16:47:53 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Engine Cooling Fan ]]> http://supercoupeclubofwesterncanada.yuku.com/reply/10124/t/Engine-Cooling-Fan.html#reply-10124

Chris check and see what the rating is on the wire first.

10ga is good for about 40-50 amps. Is there more that I need to know?

Fuse is a AGU Glass Fuse rated at 80amps (IE `Car stereo' )
Fuse Holder is in a 4 gang AGU Fuse Holder (IE `Car Stereo', and is holding fises for my stereo and Headlights)
Wireing is 8ga `car stereo' wiring too..
the rest is self explanatory i thing (OH i was using a 70amp Hella Relay for awhile before i got the FLex-a-lite VSC)

Also the Mark 8 Cooling fan is known to draw up to 80amps on start up.. the MN12 Fan i was using too, not as... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (5LCougar) http://supercoupeclubofwesterncanada.yuku.com/sreply/10123 Tue, 06 May 2008 05:49:09 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Engine Cooling Fan ]]> http://supercoupeclubofwesterncanada.yuku.com/reply/10120/t/Engine-Cooling-Fan.html#reply-10120
Kevin where are you getting the 80amp curcuit? I need one and have not found one yet. Chris can you provide something like that a relay and switch rated at 80amps?

I'd check the current draw of the fan motor it could be drawing excessive current. I am quite sure the 80amp fuse size is due to the in rush current draw when the fan first turns on but I have found 35amps when the fan is just running on high speed. I have melted down 30amp rated wiring and fusing in a similiar curcuit for my fan and that is what prompted me to check current draw.
