(Re:) Radiator Cooling Fan Rewire

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

Of the Fan Fail Relay Bypass Jumpers I have seen they all start to get 
crisp. A member of our club actually had his smoke. IMHO no one should 
be driving on the wire bypass unless it is an emergency and then with 
constant inspection leaving the cover and carpet off. The wire bypass 
was meant as a temporary fix until the factory could do better. The 
Fan Fail Relay is even more dangerous. All owners should consider 
either a Fanzilla or a "generic" replacement. At the first wiff of 
burning insulation open the cover behind the passenger seat and see 
what is melting! Bad connections in the fuseblock and that can melt 
too. This area should be inspected at least once a year.

after going to three different auto parts stores finally found a five 
pin relay.
