The 'proper' procedure for getting at the fan is to take the entire dash out. Sod. That. Googling reveals a shortcut to get at the relevant connector. I got it out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/58125090(a)N00/4162292449/ What's so dang hard about using the right sort of connector for the right amount of current. Don't these plankers ever learn? [1]actually still the newest car I've got, 53 plate. -- /Simon

The replacement (modified) connector and resistor pack have doubled up on the main power connectors. -- /Simon |
