Default help radiator fusable link blown

So yesterday sitting in a drive thru, noticed my ac blowing hot and temp gauge was on. Hot. And found fusable 40 amp radiator fusable link blown. Went to dealer and got a new , and blew again short time after. The car does not have the oem fan assembly, replaced it about 3 yrs ago. Any ideas what might be tripping it. Could the fans going bad again cause this? Is there anyway to test for a bad fan? Appreciate any help thanks.

Unplug the suspected fan and replace fuse to see if it blows.

Yep. There'll obviously be a short somewhere if it blows and the fan is disconnected. Also, I was able to get a couple of those fuses at O'Reilly's and Pep Boys. I checked the dealer and they wanted ~13 for one. I got 2 for ~10.
