Can I use a 80amp?

a starter solenoid is not a constant solenoid though; it'll burn up. yes their probably very high amperage, but their not meant to be constantly on for extended periods

electrical problems w/ the ford fan

i have a 93 toyota pickup w/ the 3.0 I recently installed the ford electric fan w the hayden fan control unit. after about 20 mins w/ the high speed wired in it popped the 25 amp fuse going to the fan, i replaced w/ a 30 amp and 2 days later it ended up frying the control unit. I replaced the unit and wired in the low speed it seems to be ok but Im curious if my truck will overheat on long trips or in the summer. The only thing I didnt do was wire in was the a/c over ride but i never used the a/c. any ideas why it popped that fuse and what can i do to fix the problem, because i have a feeling w/o the high speed it will give me temp problems. I havent been back to the mud yet but does anybody think it'll short out or stop working if I get mud or water on the fan. also how much clearance is their supposed to be between the fan and pulley cause I changed my studs to bolts and cut it down and I can barely squeeze my belts between the fan and pulley
