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.
