[V8] Weird burnt thing

[Tony and Lillie]

You can do that by simply taking a jumper cable or large wire and hooking it 
from teh jump post on the right side to that fuse link you added. The fan 
should come on then. The positive is the switched side, the ground is 
constant on the strut tower right by that fuse link box.
