    John---do you have teflon tape on the threads of your temp sensor for the fan???? It will insulate the threads and not let the current go to ground

    Amen to that, Jerry. That was the first question the AutoMeter guy asked me when I called about a faulty gauge, and he said that about 95% of their temp sender problems are teflon tape insulation.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    I use Centech's fan control box--very slick way to control your electric fan. No problems in five years of use.
