Well, that's definitely not the problem. I have replaced the resistor pack
for the cooling fan (as when I purchased the car a year ago the fan only
worked on high.) Fan works correctly on all three speeds (also replaced
fan motor within the past year as it froze up.) The XM kicks out when the
fan goes to the medium speed. Incidentally, I do have a cap installed for
the amp. As to fan failure melting the car - I have a fuse installed on mine!
All of this is really moot at the current time, though, as the tranny has
no forward gears (I stated a year ago when I bought the car it had to last
a year and it gave exactly that, almost to the day!) I have another good
transmission to put in the car, just have to get around to doing it among
my other projects (VW Jetta needs a tranny, too, the final drive bearings
went out; 300ZX needs a cylinder head.)
