Bob Zilla, can you confirm? Was: fan failure,I though this was strange

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

If what Andrew says is corect, I would say this is a bit of an oversight 
- the fans are just as likely to have their wires pulled out than of 
getting jammed and drawing too much current. Surely the fan-fail light 
should tell you if one or both fans have gone either short or open 
circuit? - I know the original device didn't, however it was something I 
designed in to my Fan controller module. Can you confirm, Bob?
