I have seen this once before.
Check the connections at the 2 relays on your drop down fuse panel - are they all tight? Does the wiring looks ok?
Check the wiring connections at the 2 fans, and on the temp switch (lower left side of the radiator - it's just a ground)
A loose wire or bad crimp can cause havoc with these fuses.
I would now suggest you reconnect the fuse - after the wiring inspection and fixing the fan rotation and see if it still pops a fuse.
The fuses will protect the fan circuits.
Now the fun begins:
If it still blows the fuse, the next step would be to switch the relays on the fuse panel and see what happens.
If it then blows the other circuit you know the problem is in the relay - replace it.
If the same fuse blows, you know the relays are both ok, and have narrowed it to wiring in that circuit or that fan motor.
BTW: Which way is the good fan moving the air? They both should pull air into the engine compartment.
So now remove the power supply wires from both fans and use temporary jumpers to switch the power supplies to them.
Retest and see what happens. If the same fuse blows it's the wiring, if the other fuse blows, it's the motor.
Hope this makes sence, you are just switching power flows to find a bad component - a process of elimination.
Send me a message to my email address listed below and I'll send you my home number to call.
Let me know what the result is.
