RE: [doc] Delorean electrics

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham@xxxx>]

James, Has been a member of the DOC for many years ( he paid his 2002 subs
today).

It gives me a real thrill to know that James's long time desire to own a
DeLorean is at last fulfilled.

It adds to my pleasure that I was instrumental in "pointing" James towards
this particular car that I first saw for sale "down south", while attending
a car rally on company business. James did a right good deal with the last
owner and has a very early gas flap, low mileage car. Vin 569 .

Thanks for your help with the electrical stuff Martin.

Chris P.

There's no fire hazard as such - everything's fused (although the fuses for
the headlights sometimes melt :-). If your cooling
fans fail (which they CAN), you risk overheating fairly obviously. Look to
the far left of the relay compartment - is there a
blue module in the bottom corner? THis is the fan fail module and prone to
failing. It should be removed and replaced with
jumper wires.
