Default I keep blowing the 60 amp fuse for cooling fan

I have a 95 mustang and It keeps blowing the 60 amp fuse. I don't know much about the electrical system on this car, so if anyone can give me ideas why I'd appreciate it very much.

Go to Autozone and politely ask if they can quickly check if your fan electrical connector is grounded. Go yourself out to the car right now & visually check the electrical wire from middle of fan outwards for a cut or nicked. The wires are probably touching ground somewhere.

I'll tell you exactly what it is before you put a new one in. Pull the 3 pin plug off the fan motor and look at it. They tend to heat up and melt...causing the ground to touch the power wire. Chances are that happend. It's an easy fix, and something you should do before you kill the fan motor itself.

Ask me how I know....

Wow, Yeah- There you go, that's a great idea and might have the same grounding issue that way. Please update-
