Dual Coolant Control Valve Replaced

[E'sBird]

Now here is the problem. I replaced the Dual Coolant Control Valve on my 02 T-Bird. Still blowing hot all ducts. Went to fuse box under hood on right side. There was a blown fuse in #1 which is a 10 amp. Recovered a 10 amp from the fuse box on the right kick panel. Replaced fuse and drove a couple of blocks, it blew again. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hello Earl,
Fuse #1 in the aux junction box under the hood, passenger side fender is the fuse for the A/C clutch relay, Auxillary coolant pump relay, Coolant control valve solenoid.

Relays, Auxiliary coolant pump relay #5 and A/C clutch relay #6 are also in this same junction box.

You might replace the blown fuse & pull either one of those relays to see if the fuse blows again. This might help you zero in on what is shorting out the fuse.

Hope this helps.

Sure does. I checked the resistance on the old Dual Coolant Control Valve
using terminal 2 to terminal 3 and then 2 to 1. Both registered within tolerance of 15.2 ohms. I am thinking it could be the coolant control valve solenoid. Great idea, thanks. By removing the relays one at a time would demonstrate the theory or send me off in another direction.

Thanks,
EARL
