RE: [DML] Fan Fail melting

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark, I know your not a fan of the Fan Fail 2x2 but I would think that if
one would have done this I would have heard about it. Davis T. not to long
ago was talking about the Fan Zilla having a over heating problem also and
the wires getting real hot. The Fan Fix 2 x 2 will get hot also tucked down
in the relay compartment and handling all that current.  
I think what you are referring to is Ron's Wester's car that had the
original 3 leg jumper in it and it caught on fire. This was about 2 years
ago.
As I have said before and to you if you want to have a good safe system then
get the heat out of the kitchen and replace the fans. 30 amps on the
original and 11 amps on the replacement and you can go back to a stock relay
set up with no problems. The original fans are the current hog of the whole
electrical system in the car and pose the biggest threat.

There was a website showing photos of a Fain Fail Fix Dual 2X2 melted  
and started a small electrical fire, does anybody have a link or  
photos of that website?
