My Westie (84) does this from time to time... I suspect it is a bad motor
causing too much load... what I did is install two additional LED on the
instrument cluster.  One (yellow) that comes on when the fan turns on and
one (red) that is attached to an OR gate that will come on when the fuse to
the fan has popped...
