Reminds me to tell shop to clean rear when seats come out for installing a box.

BTW those 2 relays on the rear shalve fell out all of mine.
The shop tightened them up and then they were fine.

Yeah maybe they just weren't seated.

Dunno, but the fan is working fine again, toasty out here at chuckwalla and it's been coming on a lot.

UPDATE: Fan worked for a bit, and a few weeks ago got warnings again. It would start, then not start. Fuse not blown.

I have a feeling the new relays and fuse allowed new one to start - I am going to guess it was getting old and pulling more load/amps. the new fan is 3 part numbers "newer" so it's been revised a few times. Replacement is a 10 minute job if you go slow and clean things up too.

Replaced fan. All is well in the world.

I hate electrical crap. Now to debug why my 964 oil cooler fan isn't running. I give it 60 minutes to trace down, and then it goes on a switch!
