I may need to change some wiring. I have a wire from BATT+ to the charging post of the alternator & from there to the GMPP harness fuse box. And in this fusebox I have added a circuit for the cooling fan. Not exactly sure yet how much amps it pulls, 50ish(?).

So if I put a fusible link near the battery in this circuit, will the cooling fan kill it?

I wired my fusible link from alternator to megafuse then on the other side I have wire to fuse box, I then ran another wire from the alt side of the mega fuse to a power dist block. I pulled power off of this and have two relays for the fans with fuses inline. I think it may be to much to pull through the fuse box. Just a free non educated guess, If you hook it up and it smokes,, Hurry and disconnect it.. Maybe look on Painless or American Autowire for some more info.
