  1. Well, here's the final for this short story. I did Loren's DIY to replace the ballast resistor for the left radiator fan based on the visible burned area on the existing resistor. As soon as I started the car the new resistor burned up. Out of ideas and experience I took it in and the mechanic told me that there was a fan system wire upstream of the resistor in the fender that you can't see and had chaffed and was shorting the system. Not sure what lesson I learned out of this other than I got a complement on my resistor replacement wiring - thanks Loren!
  2. The fuse blew last week and I replaced it. It was fine till today when it blew again. I replaced it, started the car (AC was on) and the fuse blew within 20 seconds. The fan did come on momentarily and seemed to spin up. I guess I need to get under the car and start looking for chaffed wires, et al.
  3. Thanks! Yes, 30A installed. Loren posted a DIY about replacing resistors on radiator fans but I don't know if that is the cause or it's as you say, a bad fan.
  4. Haven't been on RT for a while. . .finally retired and have time to play!! Question: My left radiator fan fuse, C10 keeps blowing. Fan runs fine when the fuse is ok. I searched the forum and couldn't find this specific case. Thanks for any help.
  5. Good post - changed mine yesterday. Also fixed my problem with the right side rear view mirror tilt down when in reverse. Thanks
  6. Talked to JJ at GHL this am - says I need to take the mufflers to a muffler shop and have them swedged to a larger diameter. They did offer to send me another set that had already been swedged. They also will pay for muffler shop service. Don't know whether my mufflers missed a manufacturing step or they are using a bad spec.
  7. Installed new GHL mufflers yesterday and love the sound. The down side is that both sides leak at the cat sleeves. Tried various torques, but nothing seems to solve. I'll call GHL tomorrow, but thought I would give the forum a try first. TIA
  8. Just had this done at the dealer. Unfortunately, they would not pay for it. $600 that I could have used for something a lot more fun. Good luck- hope you can do it yourself. rb
  9. How about the appropriate place for a jack stand for the rear end of a 996? I haven't seen a place other than the jack point that inspires confidence. TIA.
  10. Mine came off nicely with the denatured alcohol and a sponge with a soft abrasive side to gently rub off the paint. You can purchase just the inserts through your dealer for about $80.
