As for the fan, turn on fan and put a kleenex in front of rad and see if the fan is pulling air through rad or if they wired it reverse. try a 40 amp fuse as the amperage will spike when turned on.

PS; if the fan is blowing air forward instead of through rad the fan motor will labor in the wind and cause higher amperage draw and blow the fuse.

Great insight. My original puller fan died. Connected a new SPAL puller fan like original (same colored wires to same). The car was getting hot and would have overheated. Turns out the new fan was pushing, not pulling! Switching the leads fixed things for me. Good luck.
