Fixed both and now fans run as specified, however , the resister cover is getting hot when the low speed fans are operating. Is this normal? Thanks, DAN
Normal..Resistor dissipates heat required to drop the voltage for low fan operation..that is why it is ceramic composite and high wattage.
You may also want to upgrade the 15A fuse for low fan relay..this a a Benz mod to 25A.
