Default focus engine cooling fan multiplug burnt out.

my fan stopped working the other day and the terminals in the multiplug for the fan have burnt out.
it was sent to fords by a previous owner with the sme problem and they fitted a new fan but it hasnt fixed the problem,
any ideas?
thanks tony!

Are your fans seized ?, this will do it, fuse should have gone first, but things don't always work as they should.

Perhaps the fans are pulling to much power, or the fans are running more than they should be?

I reckon you've got a bad joint inside the plug, it's causing a heat build up, thus a melted plug.

brought a second hand fan unit from ebay that i can honestley say that i wont be using! the risister on the bottom of the fan is really badley corroded so im using the multiplug from that fan which is in good condition and ive also cut a section of loom from a scrap focus which im going to solder and heatshrink on my car! bit pissed of about the ebay purchase but thats the risk buying secondhand parts even tho the seller discribed it as in good working condition!
