Re: [DML] My fan made it all the way Through the day, but my fan belt didn't



Dave's solution consists of a replacement wire 10 AWG between inertia switch ground and one of the gear selector frame bolts.
I have completely removed the old ground, leaving it to the other devices to share the original ground.
Works for me.

Considering that the pump ground is 6 gauge/frame/4 gauge between the rear bulkhead bolt and the battery, and that Dave's terminals & frame connections are likely in good condition, his measured drop should still be a reasonable indication of the inadequacy of the single 12 gauge factory ground wire (at the time of his test Dave certainly had the instrument cluster active and his driver door was open, but his courtesy lights are be burning LED's -- he didn't even have the binnacle bulbs, turn signals, or windshield wipers on).
