Re warning.. fan fire

[Paul Meyers]

I've been using 60 Amp fuses in my 87 & 88 5KCSTQ fan circuits for years.
The fuse has never been a problem though hot summers and cold winters.

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?
