Turned out that the fan's 1st speed resistor died and the second fan didn't turn until the computer gave the command for the 2nd speed.

My mechanic's solution was rather neat - he short-curcuited 2nd speed. This made my case even worse. Turned out that the fan itself rusted and didn't turn at all. The short-curcuit almost caused a fire!!!

Now all is well - I have a new fan block installed. cool

Wasn't there a recall for that??
The fan's bearings were made too tight or something if I recall correctly.....

Did your "overheating" occur correlate to the a/c being on??

Thanks
