Louie, fuse #5 also powers the thermal fan switch. Check it out if one wire is off and touches the pipe. At least start looking in this area, as it is most important that your cooling system works. Good luck Elvis Hi Group, The other day my car started repetedly blowing out fuse #5. When this happens the idles suddenly drops very low, and all my dash gagues cease working. I looked in my workshop manual and see that fuse #5 powers the dash gagues and the service interval counter. Is there a common failure that causes fuse #5 to blow? Any help would be great... I miss driving the car this time of year when it's so nice outside!
