[DMCForum] Re: Engine fan failure

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't run fuses in the fan fail socket. They'll melt (without
blowing). A simple 12 gauge 3 way jumper per the DMC bulletin works
much better. I've been running one for thousands of miles no problem.

Circuit was never protected by the fan fail module BTW. Is a circuit
breaker further up the line. Fuses in that socket are redundant.

Glad you made it to Pigeon Forge. But you're a wuss for going to bed
early with a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door...
