Getting the Wheeling Fever
Hey all,

Greetings from Muskoka.

I have this 1989 V6 Monty with the fan stuck on. The truck splashed and played in the water & mud all day.

The fan has been running for 4 hours, ... and the motor was very hot when we got home. As it sits now the truck is more wet than muddy.

Any ideas on how to turn the fan off? I have a flashlight in hand and a can of WD-40 Silicone Spray, ... ready for the mission.

All help appreciated, ... as always.


Regards,
\

the water is shorting out the fan relay. a liberal application of WD 40 should do the trick. Don't forget to wash the rad out when you give the monty a bath.

Yep it did it all on its own. The same way sometimes they steal money from our wallets for upgrades that we do not authorize.
