[DML] Re: Cooling Fans

["Duke Bladorn" <at88mph@xxxx>]

Joe,


You stated that the otterstat switch seems fine but did you jump the
otterstat switch? If not, unplug the two female connectors from it and
insert a jumper wire into the female connectors. Start the car and if the
fans come on you have a bad otterstat switch.


Hope this helps,


Duke
