Radiator fan fuse keeps blowing, any ideas why?
I took my car to get inspected then on the drive home it starts overheating. I checked the cooling fan fuse and its bad, so i replaced it and it blew again. Does anybody have any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks for any input.

Wire shorting out possibly causing the fuse to continually blow... Trace the wire back from the connection at the fan and look for a burn or cut in sheathing.

Thanks for the reply.
I found two wires that were halfway cut through from when they were spliced for an MF2. I thought maybe this could be the problem, so I cut them and stripped them and crimped them tightly, still didnt fix it. So I put another fuse in and tried plugging in my stock fan and it worked fine for like a minute without blowing the fuse. So I plugged the FAL fan back in and it started for a second then blew the fuse, like it's been doing.
Any other ideas? I have hondata, I don't know if that would make any difference or not. But it wasn't doing this before I took it to get inspected, so I'm wondering if they did something to cause this, or if it's just a crazy coincidence

the FAL fan isnt good anymore.
