Greetings!
Does anyway know a quick and easy (non permanent) way of connecting the
electric fan directly to the 12 volt system so that I don't overheat driving
through Chicago 80-90 traffic this weekend as I move to southern Illinois? The
car doesn't overheat if its moving and will even stay below the 100 C mark
driving in normal South Bend IN traffic, but will overheat for sure when I trek
across 80-90 south of Chicago (they are currently doing road construction -
heck, they're always doing road construction).
I tried hooking the fan up directly (using a 30 amp fuse as a safety measure)
and it blows the fuse everytime. I originally thought it was the fan, so I
swap it with the fan from my other v8 that works fine and it did the same
thing. Obviously the initial startup of the fan draws more that 30 amps,
although I find this odd.
Also, does anyone know the resistance by audi for the three speeds with this
fan?
Thanks for the help -
