The motor is probably toast on the fan - everytime it tries to run it makes the idle drop from the massive power draw to start it. When that happens it over loads the fuse and pops it. Check your idle setting as well. Are you sure you don't have the A/C button depressed?

Stop putting the fuse in.

no i checked it but its just wierd and last night on the road my car started like jerking and tug when i pushed the gas pedal, it would jerk and tug and while on the freeway at 60 it did it again. Im checking out the main relay today cuz i was curious if it was that so i started flicking the relay while the car was on and it died. if that helps

Yes - sounds like your main relay is bad then.
