I have a 94 Dodge Intrepid ES thats constantly blowing the radiator fan fuses. It has now started blowing the Engine controller fusable links as well and a few others. We've taken the car to the dealer who said it was a short and they fixed it. Few months later, we're back to square one again. I'm stumped on it and the only other thing I can think is that its the power distribution center causing it. Any thoughts on this?

Has anyone checked the fan motors to make sure they are not bad and drawing too many amps?

When does it smoke? Is it when the engine is hot, when you turn the key on? That could be the short that is causing fuse to blow. Does the smoke have an electrical smell?

No the smoke doesnt' have an electrical smell. Its comming from somewhere underneath the plugs. It just recently started smoking but was blowing the fuses long before this. We replaced the whole thing of th eradiator fans including the RFI module as it was all one unit. The car is running rich now when it smokes and it starts to smoke about 5 to 6 minutes after starting up. So its as its warming up.
