Interesting. My fan has a 30 Amp fuse, but I *guess* it uses less amps than that.

Question: What is an acceptable *average* amperage draw from the cooling fan over time? Let's say that my 30 Amp volt fan is on for 2 minutes of a 30 minute drive. That's :

(30 Amps * 2 Minutes) / 30 minutes total = 60 / 30 = 2 Amps average.
