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. Bill Robertson (the Bionic Man) #5939 >--- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Marvin" <marv@xxxx> wrote: > On my last DeLorean, years ago I installed an over-ride switch to manually turn on the fans if needed. I cannot locate any paperwork or diagram how I connected what to where. I recall that the wires were only in the cockpit area, non of them going directly to the fans themselves. > Can anyone assist?
