Hey  all, I installed a new electric fan with a thermostat controller in 
the  Polara the other day and it has ruined 2 inline fuse holders just 
idling  in the driveway. The first one melted and the second one broke at 
one end.  I pulled the power from the altenator lug, which the 
instructions said was  ok, and the ground is screwed to the core support. 
Did I do something  wrong? The fan works ok, then the next time I start 
the car and check it,  the fuse holder is shot... the weird thing is it 
hasn't blown the 20a fuse  either time. The fuse holders are the inline 
glass type, so today I'm  going to get a new style with the square type 
push in fuse. Is it possible  I'm using the wrong amperage fuse?

Sounds like the fuse is large enough, but the fuse holer an/or wires are  not 
large enough to handle the current.
