Testing the Fan Control

I'd very much like to get rid of the silly otter switch arrangement found in Griffiths.

There are 2 fans on the later Griffs. My current plan is to control them independantly from the fan and water pump controls from VEMS, with different on temperatures and different levels of hysteresis.

There's no real reason for this, other than it's giving me options...

Well, after an exhausting search for the coil wires on the fan relays (they went into the engine bay and came out again...) I plugged them in to VEMS, set the temperatures and they worked. First time too. It's a shame the temp sensor isn't configured right yet.

I noticed the relays have diodes built into them. Nice and easy!
