I just want to disable the wing from going up automatically at 74MPH. I do not want to loose the fan plus I can't open the lid from inside the car if I just pull the fuse. Is there a wire I can cut? I am replacing the unit with a fixed wing and new harness next spring. Perhaps the power wire to the hydraulic pump?

Thanks

I'm not sure if you can disable the wing but I had similar problems and I replaced the pentosin hydraulic fluid with a higher viscosity fluid LUCAS PSF sealer about 3 years ago and haven't had problems since. The procedure is simple but a little messy

Hi Kirk -- can you describe the procedure for replacing the fluid please.

Thank you.
