Hi John,

The original design for the Fan Fail light was to tell you if the fans 
have failed. In the factory recommended recall, you remove the device 
that does this, and a lot of people (myself included) have wired the 
light up to come on when the fans are on - John incorporated this into 
his fan fix. The Fan Zilla actually lights the light when something is 
wrong, as originally intended. In our design, the light flashes when the 
fans power up, and only stays on if somethign is wrong. I think this is 
a nice compromise :-)

BTW if you still have the Ducellier alternator (as should be the case 
with your mileage), you will need to change it - I have one too and with 
the cooling fans on, dropping to idle always results in the radio 
cutting out. It's even worse with the headlights on!
