    Strange box found in my Delorean

    So, I was looking to see if I had the blue fan fail relay of death in my Delorean and I found this:

    Does anyone know what this is? I was going to buy the fused wire link from DMC but I might not need it now if this device does the trick.

    Thanks,

    Joe

    Id guess a fanzilla thing, if its plugged into the same locations that the other does. Old stuff from my understanding... http://deloreantech.wikia.com/wiki/Zilla

    Thats a keeper. Thats a fan sequencer for the factory fans to help diminish the draw and drain on fan start up on the rest of the electrical system.

    It's also melting, like many Fanzilla units do.

    You can make a small modification to bypass the breaker (not needed since the Fanzilla has its own fuses). I posted about it here:

    That IS a Fanzilla. They are hard to get, they are no longer made. Known for their quality. Check the relay block for any signs of heat damage where it p[lugs in and make sure you have the correct size fuses in it. You can also test it to make sure the fan fail light works. It certainly is a keeper.
