Fan/wiper fuse blown

[Kneale Brownson]

No idea off-hand what the problem is, Steve, but audifans.com DOES allow
multiple subscriptions.  I'm on the Q List, the 200q20v List (obviously)
and the V8 List because I have cars that fit all three categories.

One thought, maybe that fuse was just ready to blow from age/heat, etc.
