(long break)
3/13
Been a while, but it's also been slow progress. A couple of weeks ago my truck A/C seemed to pack it in, so I had a bit of a fiddle at it, and found something "not quite right"...
That's peering up above the fan box, and appears to be a residence fit for a vermin inhabitant.
I could sometimes get the fan to turn on, but it would "click" synchronous to the fan speed, then stop altogether.
On removal of the fan itself, and closer inspection, I found the problem.
Funny-looking Texas hamster...
It's paw was hanging out, tapping on the internal lip of the fan housing. Apparently, the imbalance was enough to trigger the overtemp protection in the motor circuit.
