[DMCForum] Re: Climate control fan & hot relays

["Toby Peterson" <tmpintnl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ryan and Gang - For all of you DIY guys (Do It Yourself), we have a 
great little kit that allows you to do a modification to the cooling 
fan circuitry that seems to be "bullet proof" based on my personal 
experience.  This mod removes the fan fail relay, and then 
rearranges the wiring a bit so that each cooling fan runs off of a 
separate relay.  This lowers the electrical strain on the relays, 
and creates a redundancy so that if one circuit fails for some 
reason, the other one will still run, and get you home.  Our kit 
contains (2) 40 amp relays, (2) 40 amp circuit breakers (for both 
the cooling fans and the A/C fan), and my usual detailed 
instructions.  I did this mod on Winged1 over 10 years ago, and have 
had absolutely no issues with either the cooling or A/C fans.  Email 
me off-list to get information on ho to order it.  Just to calm your 
fears ... it's around fifteen bucks, and takes about an hour if 
you're careful.

PS - All the talk about RPM relays - They have been failing often in 
the fleet recently.  We have them in stock.  If this relay goes bad, 
you're stopped until you replace it or bypass it (temporarily to get 
home).
