Re: fan breaker hot - Everything's hot - Driver hot.

[Steve Peck <stevepeck1@xxxx>]

DMC Joe,

Thanks for your reply. My fans run almost all the time because in SC in April, the compressor rarely shuts off.

I am very concerned about the hot wires. It has been suggested that one or both of my fans is going bad. They both start and run strong. I don't have an ammeter to test current.

It was also suggested that the polarity of the breaker may be backwards. I confess that I simply plugged it in and turned the AC on to test it. I'll check that.

It was also suggested as I expected that the fan fail by-pass wiring guage is too small. I can fabricate a new one, and have not done so yet, because I want to see what else may be the matter before I test it. Testing requires driving for a half hour, and I fear having to test the fire extinguisher... 

By the way, who will sell me comprehensive insurance? Nobody will touch me with my wife's driving record. OK that's another issue entirely.

Is there an alternative fan test that calls only for use of an ohm meter?

I buy almost everything from PJ Grady. I left a message at PJ Grady's tech info line last week, but nobody called me back.

When fear begins to approach technical abilities, the car gets garaged...

Thanks.
