[s-cars] S-CAR-List Digest, Vol 45, Issue 16

[Azeem Elahi]

 Look under the driver's side knee panel.  There are 4 bolts in total, two
under the plastic caps, and two near the base that are visible.  I believe
there are 2 (?) relays up there that pertain to the fans and will permit
them to run constantly when they fail.  I just randomly pulled one out and
replaced until the fan turned off.
