Hi,
I've got a 1991 Citroen AX. 2 weeks ago the radiator cooling fan stopped working. I've replaced the fuse and it was fine, but tonight the fuse went again.
Replaced it again, and all seems fine (coming on when the engine gets hot, not on all the time, turning off when it's cooled down), but I don't fancy doing this every 2 weeks.
Any ideas why this might be happening?
Cheers
P.S.
30A fuse.

The fan could be binding or starting to sieze drawing too much current (tho a 30 amp is big for a fan) or you have a short circuit, could be the windings in the fan breaking down. Get a new fan from the scrappie

Chaffing wire somewhere, causing an intermitant short?

Your fan motor is burnt out, which is why it keeps blowing the fuse. Get another from a scrappy as RF says.

The fan works okay once I've fitted a new fuse, so I thought it might just be shorting out somewhere, but if that's what happens when the motor burns out, then I'll get a new (old) one.
How specific are cooling fans? Will any citroen do, or does it have to be an AX?
Cheers
