Radiator Fan Fuses?

[mitchw]

Fuse blew for the fan, I believe last spring, when I busting some drifts and got major stuck. Replaced it like two weeks ago, fan kicks on, runs beautiful, yada yada yada. We got about 6 inches of snow last night, and I got my wheel kit and 4th wheel kit from Schmidt Bros in the mail, so I installed that stuff, then took the sled for about a half mile spin through the food plot. and boom, fan isn't kicking on. I'm assuming the fuse blew again. When I take a look tonight, do you guys have any ideas where I should be looking to see if there's a short or something like that? I couldn't find any threads about this particular issue, so thanks in advance?

Okay, called the dealer, and their service tech proposed that the fan may have iced up after having been in the shop and thawing out, then immediately going into the cold (after it was "warmed up"). When it iced up, it blew the fuse. Anybody else had any problems blowing fuses on their fan?

No but that makes sense.

Turns out that the fuse hadn't even blown yet, but so much snow got packed in there that the fan couldn't turn. I had shut it off apparently before the fuse blew. Thawed it out last night again, and the fan kicked on eventually and took 'er for a ride in the sweet sweet pow, everything was great! next up, skinz plate install tonight...

Do you know what coolant temp the fall kicks in at?

Cannondale -- I've heard of the screens, do you have one that you fab'd up or what did you buy for that?

I bought it from Yamaha.I think it would help keep some snow out of there for you.
