I have a 94 auto sc.
On the way to work last week, with the a/c on, the temp climbed to 195-200 at 5:30am for a 8 mile drive on the freeway. It normally runs at 180 under any condition. it got hotter, 210, on the way home at 6 in the afternoon with outside temps around 95. Got home and noticed that my fan wasn't coming on, and I know it should with the ac on. I utilized the search function on here and discovered a blown 60 amp fuse under the hood. I pulled the fuse to find the same thing I read about, a small spot around the fuse port was melted and one port was slightly pulled up and out of the bottom of the fuse box. I replaced the fuse to try that out, nope, instant pop.
I read that there can be a short in the puller fan motor. So I've got a new fan motor sitting here. I'm not sure if I should bypass the fuse box and run a separate line for the 60amp fan wire, or try to repair the fuse box itself. I haven't done either type of repair before, but I'm don't think it would be too difficult.
I'm able to make it to work w/o it getting too hot as long as I don't use the a/c. A credit to that big Griffin radiator.
Any suggestions?
