Re: [DML] radiator fans / fan fail

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

Jim,

The power feed to the fan fail module runs through the cooling fan circuit
breaker which is rated at 40 amps. Although it has been common practice over
the years to insert two inline fuses in place of the fan fail relay, they
are
not necessary because the circuit is already protected by the cooling
fan circuit breaker.

All of these unstable wiring and component modifications make the Fanzilla a
wise addition to any DeLorean electrical compartment.

Better
