( have not done that since my 1966 Ducati). No more blown fuses. I'm hopeless with electrics, so anyone have any suggestions on how to hunt this down or anyone else experience this problem? I have one of the older cars, chasis 188. Thanks.
Did you ever change out to the new aluminum radiator updated fan assembly that came with the car? if not, the fan relay itself could be the culprit, not sure of the part number (I am sure that Bob will chime in with it), but it may need to be replaced. Had a similar issue with ERA234 when I owned it, replaced the relay and the fan switch, never had an issue after that.
