The fans never ran during the trip to Missouri. The 10 amp fuse had blown, had I know it would
be an easy fix I would have changed it during the trip. The fans are suppose to pull 7.2 amps combined,
so I have gone to a 15 amp fuse now. I suspect it was too small for the starting amps pulled by the fans,
which is different than the 7.2 amp rating at full speed. My wiring was not completed at this time, it
was just hanging from out of the dash. It might have shorted out somehow also.
Without the fans running, the temps were 180-190°F at 70 mph. I will have to check with my IR Gun
to confirm my understanding of the factory repair manuals about which lines are output/input to the
transmission.
I have the fans running now and have finished up the wiring inside the cab except for the lighting the
gauge. I have pulled the plate that everything is mounted on in the engine compartment and getting ready
to paint it now. When that's done the project will be complete.
I'm trying find a point in the wiring where I can connect with to bring on the lights for my trans temp gauge.
I normally set the headlight switch to Auto and I want my gauge light to react like the rest of my lights.
I'm back probing the connector on the headlight switch with my volt meter. I've tried pins 4, 5 & 9
to
ground (pin 7). Either I have voltage or I don't, but it never seems to change when I cover the light sensor
and the headlights come on.
Any ideas ???
