Power Steering pump fan fuse?

A million post and not one that tells me which fuse on a 2003 MCS runs this fan. Which one of the fuses in the fuse panel is it?

Maybe something hit it and ended up stopping the fan and blowing the fuse. I wonder if there is a way to hook up a LED light to that same fuse, so we know when its running or blown? I'm not an electrical guy, so does anyone know how to hook such a thing up?

And Xymox, you must have as much of an OCD problem as I do...

You know, my previous couple cars I didn't have much OCD. But, this one reminds me all too well of my Volkswagen Corrado. A lot of unique looks, and fun driving, but a keen eye for what could potentially go wrong. Ironically, they were both engineered a little ass backwards.

Oh, and I still haven't been able to find out just when that PS fan runs. The only time I've heard/seen it run is when the A/C is engaged and the cooling fan kicked into high gear (like you mentioned).
