Check Your Fusible Link

I have this weird electrical problem with my 94, the cooling fans come on but never shut off unless I turn off the engine and start the car again. I checked all the relays and they are all in good shape, I pulled out the fusible link and both ends were rusted. Replace with a good clean one and problem solved.
On my 92 teal that been seating in the YJ for over 4 years had similar problems.
So if you have weird eletrical problem. Check your fusible link. If its questionable, replace it.

This defies all logic, but so did the Subaru electrical boffins who cobbled together the SVX wiring system.

It keeps me in a state of confusion trying to analyze what is going on.
I will never have a clue why starting problem worked out so great by just letting the ignition switch complete the circuit through the Bosch relay and was so erratic just turning it to start and get the dreaded "click" Without the relay in the system.
"Inquiring minds want to know!"

Take care,
