Re: [DMCForum] Re: FanZilla VS "Fan Fix":

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The design flaw is the factory "temporary" bypass jumpers to replace the 
fan fail module which really was a POS. The original setup did not say 
anything about fuses and this seems to be the bug-bear where in-line 
fuses are used and I've no reason to believe otherwise. Secondly, the 
circuit breaker's spade terminals are prone to corrosion and 
intermittend contacts which generate heat and because heat is what trips 
the breaker - bingo, no fans. Others have said that loading both fans 
onto one relay is a bit hard on the relay but I'm not sure I agree. I've 
done a two-relay mod on my car using fused relays (plug into the top) 
and fused them at 15A each. They've been fine in some 3 years, but DIN 
relays are rated to 40A so should be okay.

The neat bit in the FanZilla is in starting up the fans sequentially so 
as to load the engine in small increments rather than the big hit of  ac 
compressor and both fans all at once. With an original alternator, 
driving at slow speeds on light throttle, this can be very annoying (and 
I put up with a Ducellier for some time before finally changing out just 
before going to LeMans earlier this year, knowing my AC was going to get 
constant use!)
