It depends, the fan motor may be partially seized, hence causing the fuse to blow, but with with the "Bridge" did he use all new wiring or simply splice into the existing wiring, as it could be a wiring problem? Cutting into the headlight wiring was a bad idea tbh!

Thanks for the reply. He cut into the fan wiring which ran underneath
the air intake near to the nearside headlamp housing (but not he headlamp circuit itself) and ran the bridge
with new wiring directly to the battery. The car's own fuse hasn't blown though, which is why i'm a bit puzzled.
Not sure what else i can check ?
