the end of my cooling problems



Well, it actually turned out to be a pretty easy fix. Just a quick recap:
my car was running hot. I jumpered the otterstat and discovered that the
fans still shut off at will. It turned out to be that the heater wiring
was connected to the cooling breaker (40A) and the cooling wires were
connected to the heater breaker (30A).

It was a quick 15 minute job to get in there, switch the wires around, and
put everything back in place. I reconnected the otterstat and took the car
out in hot stop and go traffic today. The needle didn't dare get near the
220 mark! It FEARED the 220 mark! A MAJOR improvement!

When I first got the car, I couldn't drive in the rain (spark plug boots),
and lately I haven't been able to drive in the sun (too hot). Now my car
is fully rain and sun compatible. Thanks to everyone on the list
(especially Dave Swingle - again) for all the help in solving this. Trust
me, if you're car's running a little hot, check out those breakers! It
only takes a few minutes.
