'91 300CE - Auxiliary fan fuse blown (16A to 25A)

I noticed my car running hot in 90F weather - at idle, operating temps above 100C with A/C running. Auxiliary fans are only kicking on at high speed and when engine temps are 105-110C - as it's supposed to - and this brings the temps down quickly.

But, I had no LOW speed aux fan, which is supposed to run when the A/C is on and when the appropriate pressures are reached. I checked the fuses and noticed Fuse D (Red 16A) was blown. I read some old posts from Arthur Dalton about replacing this fuse with a 25A one - per Mercedes - when they put dual Aux fans in the car. Mine does have the 2 fans, so I replaced the fuse with a 25A and so far so good. Fans came on at low speeds and kept operating temps around 85C. Turned off the A/C and the fans ran for another 5 minutes, maybe, and then shut off.

But, I am worried... (I have PM'd AD, and hopefully he will respond, but I haven't been on the board in a while myself).

What do you guys think? Anything I can check? I probably need to check the amperage draw of the fans, but I'm not sure how to do that...?

Thanks, ryan
