got me looking around my Bentley and the archives.

I installed an '85 rad fan, wiring, etc. into my '81 so you'd think I
would know this but .....

In Bentley, I see that the diesel and Digijet fan motor have a low
speed resistor. The 2.1 fan only shows connections at motor.

Do both 2 speed fans have an internal resistor for the lower speed or
does the 2.1 use different size coil windings to achieve the different
speeds?

Just thinking ahead.....

Neil.
