My electric cooling fan was not working on the Aero Blue SRT6 that am refurbishing for my grandson. It triggered the "low coolant" idiot light on the dash. I changed out the coolant level sensor in the coolant resevoir with one known to be working . . . No change. I changed out the cooling fan from my parts car (also known to be working) but still no change. (I fear I'm getting more and more like a Chrysler Stealership service tech . . . Just keep throwing in new parts at the problem an hope you might eventually fix it . . .LOL)

Then I went on a serious search of the forum to find the fuse that controlled that fan. After several threads led me astray with misinformation, my search eventually took me to this thread. Sure enough . . . there are THREE inline fuses inside a little black box mounted on the RH shock tower. These are apparently mystery fuses hidden in plain sight because they are not referenced anywhere in the owner's manual. (I didn't have to go so far as to look in Service Manual . . . Whew!) Sure enough, there is a 50 amp inline fuse inside that box labeled "Electric suction type fan". I took out that fuse and it was blown. Took the same fuse out of my parts car to replace it and VOILA . . . everything is working again!
One question.
What caused the fuse to blow?
