[DMCForum] Re: Climate control fan & hot relays

["Toby Peterson" <tmpintnl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ryan - The circuit breaker seems to be the leading cause of the A/C 
fan turning off after a period of use.  I changed the breaker in 
Winged1 to a 40 amp heavy duty unit with studs (as opposed to the 
spade terminals, which can be a source of poor connections and 
heat), and also changed the relays out to heavy duty 40 amp units as 
well.  I haven't had any kind of issue since doing these things.  We 
have all of that stuff in stock, and ready to go.  The breakers with 
studs do require that the wires be re-terminated with ring 
connectors in place of the spade connectors, but the quality and 
security of the connections make that change very worthwhile.

PS - I will be in Spokane in a week for the Lilac Festival parade 
and a tech session on Sunday (May 22nd).  Is there interest in some 
of your guys making a road trip up for one or both of those?  Let me 
know.  Thanks.

clean so I assumed they were OK. Time to order new ones.
