Re: [DML] Cooling fans and the ignition



I think your cooling fan circuit is wired in a non-standard way. It
should not operate as you describe. I doubt installing a Fanzilla will
"fix" this. Fanzilla is meant to operate on a Delorean that has NOT
had this circuit modified. Pull the fan fail relay or whatever you
have in there out. Stick a jumper in there a' la' fan fail bypass and
test it. The fans should run ONLY when the key is on and when you
jumper the otterstadt switch OR turn on a properly functioning A/C
system. I am guessing you do not mean a 40 amp RELAY. Instead you mean
circuit breaker? If your car is an eary vin you might need a wiring
modifacation in the starter circuit. Look it up.
