However, that resistance would indicate drawing less than 1A.

Why is my fan resistance so much higher than your example? By definition, fans are supposed to have resistance and more resistance means it draws less current. Ideas?

And... resistance through the spade type inline fuse is either 0 or 0.1 ohms
It is really odd that you have such high resistance on the fan. Diseasel's 1.78 Ohms sounds more reasonable.


You're saying resistance through the fuse is zero-ish. Is that the resistance from one side of the fuse to the other side, or is it resistance across the fuse to ground, through the fan? If it's the latter, you definitely have a short circuit.
