Chrysler Repair: 93 Sundance: fan fusible link burned out, radiator fan, orange link

Question
QUESTION: electric fan shorted to ground causing fusible link to burn while I watched. Trying to fix (DIY) I don't have access to a wiring diagram. Any help would be appreciated.

ANSWER: Hi Tom,
I have the wiring diagrams but I need some more information. By 'fan', I assume you mean the radiator fan, correct? What was the color of the insulation of the fusible link? What was the history of this situation? For example, why were you looking at the link when it burned, what was the preceeding symptom? Are you sure the fan itself shorted to ground, or that the circuit supplying the fan shorted to ground, or are you not sure? Also, just in case, what engine do you have?

QUESTION: yes its the radiator fan. fusible link-orange. drive car daily to work. car overheated I open the hood and watched fusible link burn. I tried to turn the fan blades and was tight or hard to do so.  I think the fan motor went bad (bearing?) and me driving on the interstate might have caused problem.  I have the 4 cyl. 2.2 non-turbo engine.

Answer
Hi Tom,
You have it analyzed. The fan motor jammed and overdrew the orange fusible that supplies it. Get a new fan motor and a new orange color fusible link. Then install the fan. And then cut out the blown portion of the fusible link, and then cut a piece of new orange link about 2" longer than the part you cut out. Put some heat shrink tubing over the cut ends of the old link to use as new insulation of splices you are going to create. Then splice in the new link material by twisting together fresh shiny ends of the old and new link materials. Then solder together splices with electronic solder. Then pull the heat shrinks over the solder joints and heat shrink with a hair dryer or similar heat source. You should then be good to go.
