Aux fan stopped working
Whatsup guys,
I got my xj with the aux fan in it and its never given me a problem. Then last night while I was driving home i saw my temp gauge overheat, pulled over , popped the hood. I messed with the ground for a second , rebolted it down, good to go. 10 minutes later I get gas and idle for 5 minutes and it stops again. Except this time im getting no spark or power on the ground, and the fan isnt starting. I pulled out the fan and the brittle wires were cut by the water pump i believe . Thats not the problem though. So i soon found out the fuse blew. I threw a 30 amp i had , and connected the wires by hand and nothing happened. Im very new to electrical, i moved the relay wires around which is probably dumb, but i put them back. Nothing is working and I overheat quick. I jumped the wires and the fan motor is still good. Any help is so greatly appreciated.
PS I am on my mac cause my phone is messed up, i may be able to take this outside for pictures let me know if needed & SORRY to double post didnt know where to put this
