I happen to have a LockZilla too, but if I were to do this again
I'd upgrade the original (working) module for a LOT less money...
The remote control can work the original module too; I even had
that on mine for a week or two!
Door Launching is cool, but when I ever get around to making such
a system it will be custom built by myself and MUCH cheaper.
Hey, I might even get around to that before the DoorZlla even
becomes available; it's been promised to us for ages allready.

Not to flame Bob Zilla; a lot of time does go in to R&D and testing
and he does have liabilitye to worry about, but I thinkthe system is
going to be overly complicated in keeping it Plug & Play.

NO, it does NOT! It restores the ORIGINAL function of the light;
letting you knwo when a fan fails (and even that might not happen).
I have a FanZilla too and went with that instead of John's Fix
because of the "stagering" of the loads. To see what the fans
are supposed to be doing I added a panel with lights for AC-clutch,
enginetemp and both fans. Now I can even SEE the staggering!

You can get a demonstration in Gaydon if you want ;-)
