Fan Blow's 60amp fuse ????

[GC1]

So been driving alone inner estate road doing 10-15mph,then engine cuts out and cant get immobilization to trip off,so having stopped and lifted front clam, 1 fan is still running,never done that before,so pulled that plug off,then notice alarm horn thingy is so hot I cant leave hand on it !!!.....so check fuses and 2 foot-well have popped replaced them,then go to back fuse and notice 60amp has gone,FFSK what on earth has taken that out ???....so get new one and nothing pop's but I do now have ignition and car try's to turn over....I'm thinking immobilizer has finally gone pop some how ????

any ideas guys.....

Check for a short on the wires...either near the front turbo or in the tunnel..look for heat damage..

The fan relays can blow and cause havoc with them, happened on mine and had to redo some wiring around te felay box in footwell

Check what goes into that fuse, might not be just the fans. I had this problem on my first day of ownership, turns out one of the fans had burnt out but because, in their infinite wisdom, Noble had wired them to the same (one and only) 60A fuse, it stopped them both working and nearly overheated the car.

You'll probably find one of them is on its way out. Get a new one and wire in another dedicated fan fuse box before the 60A to stop it happening again and mitigate any risk of such a silly thing causing any damage.

I can't remember I'm afraid, the previous owner bought me a new one because it had happened the day I collected it. I believe they're made by Spal. I think they're just an aftermarket part rather than being "off something" though.

Got into engine tonight and found fuel inside inter cooler and inside pipes,some how its flooded its self.

How could this happen,theirs so much fuel inside cooler I could swim in it....!!
does this mean a switch or regulator has failed ?
