Roadside help! Aux relay panel/fan relay location.



Ref:  Your replies of Wed, 17 Sep 1997

Dan, Mike, Dave H., Arryn, Dave C., Don, Chris, and Everybody --Thanks!
Q-list comes through again.  Without it, I couldn't afford my cars (at
least beyond the hobby stage, or so many of them).

Referral to a competant mechanic, improvisation hints, a PHOTO!, details
on the panel removal and hints in case of a problem, advice on likely
marital pitfalls  --what a group.  And it's still raining in Indiana,
but that is the only bad news right now.

OUTCOME:  as she was attempting access to the aux relay panel, the fan
shut down.  I theorize that either the thermoswitch decided to work
(After all, it IS fairly new, 1yr, and it was a German precision unit),
it was one of the relays and it got jiggled, or some portion of the
wiring stressed out and opened.  Last I heard she was north of Columbus
and rolling fast.  I hope the fan motor avoided a sieze, and will
recommend a disconnect if she calls again.  She vowed not to shut the
car off until reaching our driveway, at which point I can undertake the
necessary diagnostic and repair activities.

THANKS AGAIN FOR BEING THERE!   --Gary   ('86's:5ks&5ktq+'87CGT)
