Hey all,
the radiator fan in my new-to-me 88 Wolfsburg is also on the fritz. I hadn't noticed until this ungodly traffic we've been dealing with here in Boston with the Big Dig issues. What is the best way to check the switch and/or resistor?  I've  tried searching the archives many times and it always times out for me and comes back with an error page. Any advice appreciated.
thanks,
paul
