Whoops, I should have remembered that!  Or gone out to the field and 
looked at the Coupe.

I've just become so used to the 90, I forget the little differences.

Then, if the fan draws a too-high current, the fuse will blow, you will not get any melted wires in the fan harness, and your car will not burn..

As it has been brought to my attention that the reason my cooling fan may only operate in high speed because of the resistor, does anyone know where the resistor is and what it looks like?
