Re: Fan fuse - Long

[Luis Marques <marques@rtis.ray.com>]

Just wanted to remind you folks with 4k's, Coupe GT's, 4kq's that you
are not immune to this problem since the radiator fan wiring on these
cars isn't fused either.  The fix is really simple and is documented in
the archives:

I have been running the fix for close to a year using a 30A fuse without any
problems whatsoever, but with added peace of mind ;)
