Update 700 1989

Bummer ...my multimeter is rated for a max of 10A only. So I can't measure the amps.

I've taken off the fuse for the auxiliary cooling fan and now the fan is permanently disabled. Its fuse was getting so hot, I can't even touch it for more than 2 seconds. So far the brick is doing fine with a non-functioning cooling fan.

However I observed the relay for the fan (left bottom corner of relay panel) is still hot WITH the cooling fan disconnected. I've swapped in a new relay, not as hot but definitely warmer than the fuel pump relay. Unintentionally I also discovered the cooling fan relay also controls the power windows. All the power windows are fine though.

Any ideas anyone? Is it normal for this relay to be on the warm to hot side?

Thanks
