Re: [DML] Re: New member. Overheating problems

Don't overlook circuit breaker after that relay. Could well be source
of problem. Common replacement at parts houses but may have two
mounting ears to cut off. Will also have screw terminals rather than
spades.

This is why owners need to study electrical system in driveway before
problem on the road. With a jumper can bypass both fan fail and
otterstat relays. Assuming 12v in, problem now isolated to circuit
breaker or fans themselves.

Seem to remember fans grounded to crumple extension -- another likely
trouble spot.
