My fan only works when I turn it to 4. If I put it on 1, 2, or 3 it doesn't blow at all. 1) Has anyone encountered this before and know the fix? 2) Are the controls on the newer XJs still vaccuum controlled like the older rigs? Thanks, Mike Redding 70 Wag 86 G-Wag 00 XJ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

If the connectors look melted or disformed it's because they heated up because of the additional resistance of the oxidation... john meister Mike Redding wrote: > Hello all, > > Today, my heater started acting wierd.
