Default overheating (cooling fan fuse)

On my 02 camaro ss, the fuse that controls the cooling fan keeps blowing. I was sitting at a red light and i noticed that my a/c started blowing warm/hot air and my temp went up. well i found a blown fuse that controls the cooling fan i replaced it and started the car and then the fuse went out again. i was wondering if anybody had any similar problems???

when fuse's keep blowing that usually means you have a bad ground somewhere or a bad load on a wire

I would look under the car near the fans and make sure you have no naked wire touching something. Thats probably all it is.

There's a code for that? Or is that just Autozone being Autozone? You could certainly try replacing the relays, they can't be that expensive. Let us know what you find.

the codes it threw was p0480 and p0481. i replaced both fan 1 and 2 relays and put a new fuse in. started it up and "pop" there goes the fuse. so now i guess its gotta be something with the wires??
