[DML] Re: Window & Blower Question

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Steve - The A/C fan runs through a circuit breaker that is near the 
limit for continuous operation.  On positions #1 and #2, it works 
directly with power through the switch, but on #3 and #4 the fan is 
powered through relays due to the high current draw.  The best way 
to "fix" this is to get a slightly higher rated circuit breaker so 
that you have some operational margin, but without going so high in 
capacity that you compromise protection in the circuit.  I have a 40 
amp breaker installed in Winged 1 for this purpose.  I don't have the 
manual in front of me right now, but I believe that the OEM breaker 
is 25 amps.  I have no more issues with this in my car (although it 
used to happen frequently).

On your other issue with the window ... it does run on a tracks, both 
fore and aft.  You need to inspect everything to see where it "went 
wrong".  We have parts for both issues if you need them.

sudden the fan went off. I went ahead and turned the fan and AC off, 
but after a few minutes of sweating with only one working window, I 
turned it back on.. Presto.. The fan is working. I left it on #2 
figuring maybe it was overheating on the highest setting. It 
continued working on the lower setting with no problem. Is the blower 
breaker controlled or fused? Or do the fans have a thermal shutdown?
