Default A/C Fan Isnt Working,

His what i did,
When i first got the car i checked the fuse which was the issue, put in a new 20 fuse but 3 days later blown and put a new one in but it blew again so i added a 30 fuse was working for a while until a week later it stopped working "spinning when a/c is on" ...
So do i need a new fan or is there a way to fix it?

Never install a higher rated fuse. It's creates a fire hazard and may damage electrical components.

What car?

Is 20A fuse 56 now blown again? If so, install a new 20A fuse, unplug the condenser fan, turn the A/C on, and check where this prevents fuse 56 from blowing.

You have an electrical short. You will need to get a multimeter or take it to someone to troubleshoot, this type of repair doesn't suit you.

The basic process goes like this (1) diagnose problem and (2)
repair problem. You are still at step 1 where you need to pinpoint the source of the short. What I mentioned in my quote above is a step toward that goal. Voltage test fuse 56 with a test light or multimeter (click the Fuse link in my signature). If it's blown, buy a box of 20A fuses and replace it. Then do the test and post the result.

Did you test fuse 56?

Does the fan spin freely if you turn it by hand?
