audilary fan is acting "moody"

[PeterBergin at aol.com]

Yea, there is a metal fuse (might be 80 AMP) under the hood in a black box  
near the driver side inner fender.  Easy to spot.  They corrode and go  bad 
(BTDT twice).  I keep a spar in the glove box.  Look at it and  clean it.
 
May as well check all plug connections going to the fan, including the  
speed controller mounted in front of the AC condenser low, under the plastic  
piece the removes between the radiator and the front end.

hi  all,

driving home a few days ago - the temp gauge went past the usual  spot 
where the 
aux fan turns on. the car never got close to hot, but it  was unnerving.

i noticed that there was a big draw on the voltage gauge  when the fan 
should 
turn on. like a split second, then the gauge went  back, but the fan did 
not turn 
on. but it seems it was trying to turn  on.

when i pulled into the driveway, the fan did switch on.

is  there some thermal relay that's suspect or is the aux fan on it's way  
out?
