Popping fuses and melting wires
#1
My broncos been possessed with electrical problems. Lately my electric fan has been operating with an electric thermostat triggered at 180* and it runs for a while but then the fuse pops and the ground wire is very hot. I upped the gauge of wire and that doesn't seem to help any. I don't know much about wiring so if this seems ridiculous bear with me. I hooked the fan motor directly to the battery to see if the motor was good (neg to neg post, pos to pos post) and those wires got real hot too. Could this be a ground issue or what? Lost in the sauce, any help would be great. Not fun watching the temp jump up when the fuse pops.
