Re [V8] Re: Air blower says-on

Dave - for a WAG it was right on the money.  Even got a used replacement from
a 5000 in a wreckers (it is an expensive little beasty when bought at the Audi dealer!).
thanks for the suggestion

"WAG" of the day:

The driver transistor for the fan is located in the air plenum under the rain
diverter. It sounds like this unit has shorted.
If you have the wiring diagrams it should be pretty easy to diagnose with a volt
meter. If the fan runs with no control input then the driver is probably toast.
If the control input is stuck then the control head is toast.
I have no idea how or if this unit crosses over to a GM car, but it is made by
Delco.
