12V outlet for ROPS M7060HD?

1.6 amps is next to nothing, check the polarity and make sure the two hot leads line up and that you aren't connecting positive to negative.
Sometimes things are wired ass backwards, you might have to open up the fan or the plug to trace the wiring.

1.6A is almost surely motor run current. Starting current could easily be 5 to 10 times that (8-16A). The fan draw is also being added to whatever is already on the circuit so I dont think a blown fuse is particularly suspicous.
