Default Much Help needed

I have a 95 white camaro. 3.4 liter V6 engine with 140,000 miles on it. striaight up factory car. I bought the car back in April of 2006. The car was working well when I bought it but now I have ran into some problems. I know for a fact that there is head gasket leak. I have another problem though. I have to replace the Fan Fuse, ( which is a 10 amp fuse ) every day. I am not sure what is wrong with it. Maybe it is bad grounding or something. we have no idea. Also when I drive the antifreeze in the radiator is either burning off cause of the head gasket or is dripping out. and also there are no wet spots in the morning when i back my car out of the driveway. The check engine light also comes on after about 10 minutes of driving and stays on until the car is shut off. Any help with any of these problems would be appreicated. Thanks Josh

If there are no shorts, the bearings on the fan motor are starting to seize up and overloading the motor, which causes the fuse to blow.
The coolant loss is most likely due to the bad head leaking internally. Try to get the car scanned & see what the check engine lite is complaining about.

well it must be a short somewhere. because the whole fan assembly was replaced about 8 months ago. So i will have to get under there and check that out. and i will take it in tomorrow to autozone to get the check engine light thing fixed

Don't forget to look at thr fan relay, because it has to work before the fan operates.

It will let you turn the fan on manually if everything else works, except for the coolant temp sensor.

so do u think that is the best way to go? cause we have tried 20 amp fuses and they are only supposed to be 10 amp. and it still blows the 20 amp ones. so do u think that this toggle switch will be the best way to fix this??
