I have a question about the fan fail product:

Is it capable of detecting a total lack of draw and lighting the fan
fail lamp as well? One of my concerns about previous fan fail products
was the very real possibility of a fan failing in a manner that does
not blow the fuse. If the circuit were simply open, the fan module
would just go on providing power and not inform the driver. I'd like
to find a module that would additionally trigger the fan fail light if
the draw on one or both fans drops below a reasonable threshold. I'm a
little surprised that, given the number of fan fail alternatives that
have been offered over the years, none of them have incorporated this
feature.

I'm hoping your module does; if so, I'll likely buy one.
