Well this weekend was a bit interesting. Mike Maier, who is usually pretty good about getting things figured out quickly, met his maker; electrical wiring...well that and spelling. The prior system of ol' blue consisted of the hot wire of the fan going directly to the battery and the ground wire running with a dash mounted switch that was sent to ground. To Mike's great surprise the wires decided to smoke a bit and the switch got a little warm. (well actually pretty hot) After deciding we had to change the system out we called our good buddies over at C&R Radiators who hooked us up with the wiring we needed to get it done right.
Once the box arrived he thought he was going to have it pretty easy and just plug everything in and be ready to go. Not!! According to Mike the night went a bit like this. After staring at the parts for a while and trying to determine what this black box is and how to hook it up and plugging things into the wrong spot, it still didn't work. Mike took a bit of a breather and came back to it and after a while it finally worked. Who knew what he did, but he got it installed and working. Monday morning he is telling us guys in the shop about it and well we kinda laughed and said, "Dude can't you hook up a relay?" Well obviously Mike can design and fabricate super cool suspension systems but can't hook up a relay.
Ever had one of those moments where a super difficult issue you have is very oblivious to everyone else?
