Radiator Fan Relay - 80 amp is needed

[Al Powell]

Just an update for my friends - last winter the flat metal fusible 
link for my radiator fan relay cracked and broke (1990 200, BTW) and 
I jumpered a 30W fuse across it.  Many of my list-friends were 
surprised that it worked...but it did, for months.

However, it only worked while temps were cool.  About a month ago 
when the weather warmed up in Colorado and fan cycling time 
increased, it popped repeatedly.  I got the proper 80W metal fusible 
link from the dealer (under $1.50 each, should have done it earlier) 
und alles ist gut.

So if you've been tempted to try this, don't consider it to be more 
than a "limp-home" fix.

Cheers...
