CDS fan

[malum]

What is this?

There is a fuse for it under the bonnet (under the smaller black cover)
It's a 30 amp fuse and it had blown.
I have no idea when it blew, I found it by accident.

TIA

The CDS fan is the air conditioning condensor fan, located under the engine in an auto and (I think) behind the main rad in a manual.

Thanks

Presumably the airconditioning won't work without it?
Or would it just not be as effective?

I am guessing that it would work a little bit, cos the pump would still be running and you would have some air passing through the radiator. Maybe someone who knows more about these things could enlighten us?

I wonder how long it's been gone, the air conditioning did struggle when the car was idling in traffic but this was in August when it was 100 degrees!
