Re: [DMCForum] Climate control fan & hot relays

[Chris Almy <chris.almy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ryan,
You didn't mention what type of relays you have. The factory original ones 
are underrated. You can identify them by their metal case. If they are 
metal with a diagonal line on top, then they were upgraded. You can place 
them using the standard Bosch 0 332 209 150 relays.

Also, has the fan circuit breaker been replaced? No surprise that it too is 
underrated from the factory.
