Default help needed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'VE GOT A 2WD SAPPHIRE COSWORTH, THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE 30AMP FUSE FOR THE COOLING FANS KEEPS OVER HEATING AND BLOWING EVERYTIME THE RAD FANS KICK IN.

I CHECKED THE YELLOW RELAY (IN THE FUSE BOX) AND IT WAS MELTED TO THE FUSE BOX. I SOMEHOW REMOVED THE "MELTED" RELAY AND REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE.

WHEN THE FANS SWITCH ON FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE 30AMP FUSE WOULD GET VERY HOT AND MELTS A BIT. WHEN THE FANS COME ON FOR THE SECOND TIME THE FUSE BLOWS.

I WAS TOLD THAT THE ACTUAL FANS MIGHT BE FAULTY, SO I CHANGED THE FANS (SECONDHAND PAIR). THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE SOLVED, THE FANS WOULD COME ON OVER 5 TIMES AND THE 30AMP FUSE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF OVERHEATING.

5 DAYS LATER THE PROBLEM WAS BACK.

CAN ANYONE HELP??????

PLEASE MAIL ME ON: bryan_paula@yahoo.co.uk
