I was one of the first to use the viper fan in my truck, I have had no
problems with the 50 amp circuit breaker and mopar relays that I used. Now I
read everyone having problems with the electrical??? Are you sure your
wiring it to the diagram I originally posted?? I am using the viper relays
and have not melted one or had any problems with fuses?? I guess my thoughts
are if you are using the right parts you won't have any problems. I am using
the relays they use for the viper, the ones I specified people use, are you
using Them???
