Awesome. So you don't feel bad, I went thru the same troubles you did. I kept on blowing 10A fuses (sometimes), depending if the car was running or not. It almost felt like it was blowing by random.
One last thing to confirm. Do you have a low-profile fan? Reason I ask is that low-profile fans requires a 15A fuse, medium profile -20A.
Yes , I have a low profile fan so 15A fuse is correct. Again Thank you for saving me for much agony to endure.
Thanks, Thomas.
I just got back from a back road, road test and everything went very well.
Now I need to flush brake fluids and get new pads and rotors. They went out from the sperited road test and also I need a change of underwear.

The oil light came off (gone) also as soon the the blown 10A fuse was replaced with 15A fuse. I was thinking it's one of those false warning light to pay much attention to the cooling fan issue. Or maybe because oil pump is part of the engine cooling system and that it is a better warning light than just a thermometer warning lights.

Replacing a 7.5 amp fuse with a 15 is a really bad idea. You have doubled the current rating of the circuit. You need larger gauge wire installed before you catch the car on fire.

I wonder if there is any other way of doing this correctly. I know as soon as I replaced that fuse to 7.5A or 10A it will blow out instantly when starting the car.
