Uuugh so my fan decided not to come on AGAIN... I believe the reason why i burn threw CCRM's is because i use the Lincoln Mark 8 fan that has a 40+ Amp draw when kicking on. (I know its not 2 speed and variable BUT when the ccrm actually works it maintains 180 degrees just using the high setting and programming it in the chip.
I think the Amp draw on the fan is killing the CCRM internal relay.....
So my solution....would this work???
Connecting the fans positive wire using a Solenoid directly from the battery cable (With inline fuse of course) and using the hot wire from the CCRM to trigger it. Anyone done this? I figure this would take the load off the CCRM. I dont want to buy another module to have it crap out on me AGAIN in 6 months to 1 year.
Alternatively i could use the signal wire straight from the ECM but i see that causing another issue possibly.
Thanks
Chris
