Anyway this part was the cause of bloeing the fuse. Power was not even getting to the motor as the fuse kept blowing. Food for thought.

I think you are right. I am having the same problem also. I believe it is a resettable fuse. Too many amps are pulled for what ever reason when the fan is on high and blows the fuse. But since it comes back on, it must be a resettable fuse. The cause is something else as other have mentioned, such as a bad fan motor, or a bad fan switch control. The 3 springs or coils you mention is probably the resistor.
In my case I have already replaced the fan motor, the fan switch and the resistor but I still have the problem. I believe that I have a resettable fuse that may have been weakened due to the bad fan motor and fan switch.
Problem is, I can not locate the fuse. I am still looking. It doesn't appear that I have a relay for the high speed.
When my fan stops all power is off on the controller. I discovered that by having it happen at night with the dash lights on. When the stops the light on the control goes out also. Again indicating that a fuse is be blown and then reset.
