fan fail+ door module

I think it's really creative for us on the list to discuss different 
ways to compensate for the shortcommings of these 2 major areas of the 
car's electronics. While some of the fixes are "interesting" many 
people on the list are not mechanics or electricians. They are 
looking for something that is simple to install and reliable. Instead 
of trying to reinvent the wheel the Zilla line of products is exactly 
what the car needs.There is something to be said for a standard fix so 
that it would be easy for someone else to troubleshoot.If you build 
your own fix then pity the next owner or mechanic to try to figure out 
what was done.In addition to a "non standard fix" most people are 
notoriously bad when it comes to documentation. All one has to do is 
see a few of the "fixes" in the fuel pump circuit because the person 
didn't understand the inertia switch or RPM relay.If you have not yet 
installed the Lockzilla or Fanzilla you should. At some point your fix 
WILL fail or your origional parts will fail and the price for the 
Zillas will seem small compared to the aggrivation, towing, collateral 
damage etc. on a second subject I have been using an eastwood product 
called "KOPR-SHIELD". I can't yet say it is the answer to bad contacts 
in the fuse block but I haven't had any problems yet. I suppose the 
best protection is to keep the contacts clean and TIGHT. If the 
contacts are not tight then a vicious circle of events occurs. The 
hotter the contacts get the less tension on the connecters the less 
tension the more heat until events run away and you have a melt-down. 
The first sign might be a smell.It would be very prudent to keep a 
small fire extingwisher in the event of the unthinkable. On a recent 
trip with another "D" his fan relay bypass wire melted and lead to a 
few scary moments. Fortunatly there was no damage and we repaired it 
temporarlay so he could drive home. The bypass wire was supposed to be 
a temporary fix untill the factory could do better 18 years ago! How 
many cars are out there running on the origional fan relay or the 
bypass wire? The first thing a new owner should do is get the relay 
and circuit breaker upgrades and 2 Zillas.
