Cutting wire 14 was bogging the car down. I bought a Flex-a-lite adjustment switch (31147) and a fan relay for a Lincoln Mark VIII. I ran power from the battery, bi-passing all OEM wiring. After about 5 minutes of sucessfull fan cycling the fan motor blew smoke. I bought a new Seimans # 254. It's wired with the OE harness for now, but I want to switch over without smoking the new motor. I'm running a 60 amp automotive fuse right after the battery. The power output from the new setup matches the OE setup(12.5V). Is there an alternative to soldering in a 60 amp fuse? I'm assuming the motor might have been bad because it would bog the engine when the fan turned on. I just don't want to blow the new moter.
