2003 Buell xb9s. The fuse for the cooling fan keeps blowing. I can put a new fuse in and it may last 20- 30 miles and then it will finally blow making the check engine light come on. Any ideas? Harley shop said they checked for pinched or bad wires and found nothing. They didn't seem to think it was the fan going bad either. LeFox... ever heard of this??

Could do a quick check for shorting wires (below) but it's probably time for a replacement.


- Pull the negative terminal cable off of the battery.
- Set a multimeter to mA.
- Attach the neg. cable to one lead and touch the neg. terminal on the battery itself.
- If it reads 0, you don't have a short.
- If it's anything but 0 then you have a short somewhere. Now start pulling fuses from the block one at a time until the needle drops to 0. That'll narrow it down.
