SUBJECT:      TEMPORARY WIRING MODIFICATION - FAN FAIL
              MODULE




Reports have been received that a number of fan fail
modules have become defective which renders the engine
cooling fans inoperative.  Upon preliminary investiga-
tion, a manufacturing defect has been discovered in
some modules.  While further investigations are being
conducted with the manufacturer to determine the exact
origin of this problem, we recommend the vehicle be
kept mobile with the use of a link wire assembly if
this condition is encountered.

Use of this link wire assembly will bypass the fan fail
warning light function of this system thus leaving the
engine temperature gauge as the only means of indicating
an engine overheating condition.

It is important to positively determine that the fan
fail module is defective prior to installing this link
wire assembly.  A check should be made on the cooling
fans to ensure they have not seized.  The entire engine
cooling fan circuit and components must also be checked
for continuity and operation with special attention to
all connections (Figure 1).

IMPORTANT:

Owners must be advised that this temporary modification
has been performed, the fan fail light is inoperative
and that the engine temperature gauge should be routine-
ly monitored.
