Fuse keeps blowing

[1996Mark]

The fuse for my cooling fan keeps blowing almost immediately after I put one in. Anybody got any idea of whats causing this?

Unplug the fan and see if it still blows.. the fuse that is.
If it doesn't then you have a bad fan or plug.

Ok, I unplugged the fan and put in a new fuse, it didn't blow. Plugged the fan back in and started the car and turned the A/C on max, and seen the fan was just jerking. Shut the car off and couldnt turn it by hand, looks like I need a new fan. Oddly enough the fuse didnt blow when i plugged the fan back in, but it did spark when I put it in after I unplugged the fan the first time

Sounds like you need a new fan, or at least a fan motor.

new motors by themselves are available. amazon has them i think, possibly rock auto as well.

I've heard trying to balance a fan on those replacement motors is a pita.
I'd look for a used good fan. I need to find one too, mines starting to make some noise
