Default Amperage draw for factory fans...
Anyone know what one of the factory radiator fans draws?

I just bough a 16" Spal fan and it draws ~18 amps, will the factory wiring/fuse for the fan handle that?

The factory fans use relays and 30 amp fuses- should handle that fan just fine, If my memory serves me well I think the factory fans pull around 16-18 each once they are running
