Cause
Blown cooling fan fuse
The fuse feeding the cooling fan, which draws heavy current. A fan fuse rarely fails from age — a motor drawing more as its bearings wear is the usual reason — so a fuse that blows again is reporting a tired fan rather than being the fault.
Typically an easy fix. Often worth checking before paying anyone to look.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.
