So by process of elimination, I have isolated the problem with the fans, or maybe just one fan. I spun the fans by hand and they turn freely. Assuming that there isnt any short with the fans, why would a free turning fan or fans cause the fuse to blow? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I am new to auto electrical issues. Thanks again.

Two reasons come to mind.
First, the fuse you're using may be too small to handle the load. A simple thing, sure...but I've seen it happen to folks who should know better.
Second, one or both of the fans are on the verge of failure and are drawing more current than designed. I'd go next with trying to measure the current draw of the fans.
