Re: [DML] cooling fans

Lynn, There are several De Lorean shops and people around the U.S. that have 
been working on these cars a lot longer than I have but here's my 2c worth. 
Try the simple things first.
#1 #1 #1 #1, Can't say it enough :Bleed ( all ) the air out of the coolant 
system. I do this b/4 I replace the thermostat.
#2. I know this is crazy, But I had put a new thermal switch in a car about a 
month ago, and the fans came on and stayed on. While the car was hot and 
running I taped on the pipe beside the new thermal switch and the fans went 
off. That's been a month ago and they are alternating on and off fine. ( New 
thermostat was just sticking. ) Go figure.
#3. Just because a relay clicks on and off doesn't mean it is making contact. 
Age will corrode the contacts and you thing it's working but it's not. I have 
40Amp relays if you need them. I would always keep a spare to test with if 
nothing else.
#4. The one common thing is ( Ground ). Not in just De Loreans but in 
everything.
The ground is thru the relays. I'm assuming a squirl or something else didn't 
eat a ground wire b/4 it gets to the relay.
#5. If all above doesn't work. Try a new circut breaker 40Amp. I have them 
also.
#6. I assume the conversion has been done for the wiring and no plastic has 
meted into a critical point and no connectors have come loose and the 
connections are tight. Loose connections will not carry the AMPS the fans 
demand. 
Good Luck
