Re: fan over-ride switch



Under the console is a junction of green wires. These feed otterstat,
dash gauges, and the "Lambda Service Interval Counter" (an imminently
useful device if I ever saw one). Run one more green wire from this
junction, through a switch, to the black/orange terminal of Relay 24
(right next to imfamous Fan Fail Module). Will then have a manual
otterstat parallel to thermal one. Have heard of people using defrost
or replacement switches in console (DMC Houston sells them) for this
very purpose. Don't worry about inline fuse -- junction after Fuse 5.
Will only be triggering relay -- milliamp load.

Note this will only correct otterstat failure, not failure of Relay
24, circuit breaker, whatever's in Fan Fail socket, etc.

themselves.
