1991 XR2 Melting Fuses overheating Sign up here!

The fuse will not stay in place to tell it to turn on when it is hot. I can push in the fuse while driving to make it make a connection in the fuse box (not safe to hold a fuse in while driving and shifting) The fuse will get melted from me holding it in place (it doesn't blow it just melts the plastic and it looks like it is eating at the metal spokes on the fuses also). I know I could simply unhook my thermostat and that would make my fan come on when the car is on but than I run the risk of burning up the fan motor. Can I wrap the fuse in foil to make it have a better connection? Can I shove a second fuse in there to wedge it in place? Can I install a toggle switch so I can manually turn the fan on when it gets up to temperature? Please help I live in Florida and it is not fun driving with the heater on while holding a fuse in place and shifting..... Please help!

You'll end up with an electrical fire. Either the fan(s) are drawing too much amperage, or you've got a poor connection, somewhere. You may have damage to the fuse box, already, but you need to get this addressed immediately.

The previous owner let some quack mess with the wires to the fan and I think that is when the plastic that holds the fuse in melted. The actual problem was just a bad thermost and now I have wires stripped and jimmied back together comming off of my fan I will post back if it doen't last!   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
