Upon realization that the fan was not turning on as it should after running the vehicle for a few minutes, I realized something was not right. I ran through the diagnostic checklist and eventually, (Thanks to this board) found that the wire that runs along the firewall and down to the starter had melted (I assume because of the heat from the block), and was causing a short. My questions are..
1. Has anyone ever experienced a similar situation?
If answer to #1 is yes.....
2. Is there a particular route this wire is supposed to be routed to prevent this from happening? To me it seems options are limited and the wire seems to simply "drop" down into place.
3.To repair the wire, does it have to be completely replaced, or can I simply reinsulate the melted insulation?
Thanks to all for looking, have a good day.
