99 intrepid blowing fan fuses

Yes! you are a genious Mr Beasley.


I didnt tell you the whole truth i guess. We are having trouble with the AC
compressor. Its been a constant problem for a year and now it doesnt wantot
charge at all( today!) So i would say you are right on the money. I
disconnected the AC relay and now I havent blown a fuse for the last two
hours Ive been tinkering around with it. i guess the compressor finally went
out.
My wife is taking it to work tomorrow so we will see.
The passenger side fan is running but I have yet to see the drivers side
come on.....hmmmm? i will test it tomorrow for resistance by spinning it by
hand. im not sure when it should kick on. The same time? My temp gauge never
goes past 1/2 so maybe its just not hot enough? Well Im in Dallas so
tomorrow we will see.
Ill let you know what happens. Thanks again...

Now about that AC compressor..................

That I know of two things run the fan, high heat or A/C. If it's the fan
fuse that's blowing wouldn't it indicate a short or an excessive load in the
fan circuit? A high amperage draw on the alt could possible pull down the
engine idle but I wouldn't think that much. On the other hand if the A/C is
pulling down the engine rpm I would expect it to blow the A/C fuse not the
fan fuse. Does the A/C comp some how pull power through the fan circuit?

OK Once again DID YOU SPIN BOTH FANS WITH YOUR HAND TO SEE IF THEY SPIN
FREELY????? Make sure the key is off when you do this!!
The a/c fan only turns on when the high side hits 300-350 psi, SPIN BOTH
FANS TO CHECK FOR PROBLEMS
