Help!!!! keep popping 40amp maxi fuse for cooling fans!!!
2000 Camaro Z-28....Need some help please.... parked car a week ago. Ran great. Drove car this past Sunday and noticed car was running hot. Normally never goes over 190, noticed it was around 210-220. Opened hood noticed fans were not on. Large 40 amp fuse blown. Put new one in and fans did not come on and fuse did not pop. Ran out of time to look further I to problem. Fans turn freely by hand. Any ideas where to look to find problem????? I forgot to mention in post above this is a 2000 Z-28. Had time to look into problem and even more confused.... Replaced fuse and relay, just in case relay was blown also. Started car and let it come up to temp. As car was warming up, I turned a/c on to see if fans would come on...and they did. The main fan was spinning fast and the smaller fan was turning very slowly...not sure if that was normal. Turned a/c off and fans stopped. When car came up to temp and the fans were to come on, volt gauge dropped, heard idle come down(like a load on motor), lights went dim and 3 seconds later heard a pop and idle came back to normal, volt gauge went back up and lights went bright again.... It blew the 40amp fuse. I know it is not the fan motor cause it spun with no problem when I turned a/c on. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Sounds like a bad fan motor to me!
