I have a 2 gang fuse block from a high end stereo system that runs AGU fuses. I have some 20 amp fuses for it.
I was going to use the fuse block to run the Electric fans for the radiator, (2 fan setup) and the the other side to run the elec Fuel pump. Is this amperage good?
Will this setup work ?

Fans will probably smoke a 20 amp fuse. Quite a spike on initial start up

i know its not even the same but my cousin's 98 neon uses 40 or 60 amp fuse for the electric fan, one of the big orange ones i think its a 40.

A fusible link might be best. Use a relay too. Check this forum, someone just posted a schematic. Or just spring for the delta control.

Always use two relays with fans, they share the load.
I agree with a previous post, WWW.madelectrical.com.
It's smarter to spend some time and money doing it right the first time than to watch your baby burn because you were in a rush!

Here is a way to wire dual fan setups for low & high. You could substitute different temp switches for the ecm side. But when you add the cost of those parts up, the DCC setup looks better & better.
