Re: Problems, part 3

["Patrick Bureau" <pbureau@home.com>]

lead two wires to the fan, from the battery, if t is a dual speed loo on
your plug for
the brown and the red and white line wires, stick power to those connections
ON the
fan, if it turns on, you have a functional low speed, brown and red-black
combo is HIGH speeds.

if the fan does not turn on... its dead!, I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker
JIm! err. toby...

I just replaced my fan with a twin-fan system from flex-alite (gave you the
response to your email previously) but if you want goto scrap yard, jetta 86
fans are the same and are numerous.
