You need to replace the radiator fan unit. This particular failure mode
causes it to draw too much current.

There are plenty of good-used radiator fans out there in salvage yards, to
be had as cheaply as $50. You need a 2-speed unit, which means that it has
to come out of a 1990 or newer car. Some (if not all) 1990-1992 fan units
were from Marelli (6-blade fan). 1993 and newer units were from Bosch
(3-blade fan). 1993-1994 units will definitely fit your 1992 9000.
1995-1998 units will probably fit as well. I would rather have the Bosch
unit in my car than the Marelli unit.
