I haven't gotten the thermoswitch-short trick to work yet. I probably haven't tried it when the passenger's side fan is connected—leaving it connected tends to short fuse 25.
When I had the relay jumpered and reconnected the passenger fan, it seemed to spin up pretty straightforwardly, maybe a little mechanically noisy.
I noticed that when the driver's side fan kicks on, the engine noticeably works harder to spin it up. I wonder if that's the fan that's going bad, and the added load when the main fan spins up is what's blowing the fuse.
Would it be unsafe/unwise to disconnect the driver's side fan and see if the passenger's side fan spins at the right times?
Any tips on testing if the fans need to be replaced?
