All,
Is there agreement on what size fuse is best?
The OEM is 80 amp, but I seem to recall that some folks have experienced a
meltdown in spite of the 80 amp fuse.  Also, that a good condition fan will
not blow a lower rated fuse, but I don't remember a consensus on what
rating is best... 60 amp? 

Scott Mockry has an excellent write-up on this topic at
