Auxiliary Fan Preresisor Delete?
Car: w201.029 190E 3.0L
I spend a good amount of the weekend diagnosing an air/fuel mixture problem as well as a circuit breaker trip issue. I installed a 143amp alternator and at the suggestion of Hit Man X I installed a 200amp breaker. The breaker had been tripping well before the 200amp marker. I used a ammeter to verify this. During the final load test in which I turned everything possible on, the auxiliary fan preresistor caught something on fire. As I understand it the resistor is only used for "low" speed which is only kicked on by the air conditioning pressure switch trigger. The fans are set into high speed when the engine gets too hot. My question is: If I just connected the wires that were originally connected to the resistor (this giving the fan full speed at "low") would it harm anything? Would running the fans at full speed just for condenser cause any abnormal behavior? Presently my ac is not charged so this isnt really a huge issue but I am curious. I'm not too concerned about power usage as I have that 143amp alternator. I was just wondering what everyone thought about deleting the resistor. Thanks, Kris
