I drove 5 miles @ 30MPH and parked the car running with the hood open and about 2 minutes later with the temp. gauge at 1/2 both fans came on. It seems the fuse was the problem in the first place and is the blame for the blown head gasket that I just replaced. I understand that I need to find out why the fuse blew in the first place so I will now look futher into the wiring.

Many thanks again to everyone that has helped me!
