I purchased the fan fail module from Dave McKeen and wondering how to install the bypass wire that comes with the kit. Wondering if anyone has a picture of how to install this. I asked Dave but still a little confused.

You lift the relay bank, pull one pin from the fan relay socket, pull another pin from the fan fail socket and install that jumper in those blank pin locations. Look at the colors on you fan circuit breaker. Those are the wires you pull from the relay sockets. Schematic shows brown/orange and brown/slate but I think mine were both brown/orange.

FYI:
Those breaker wires run all the way to center large harness and then run all the way back to the sockets. Just in case you want to remove the breaker and it's 5 or 6 foot of wire from the harness.

My jumper wire is 10 AWG 300 volt, 4 inches long with relay pins crimped on in case anyone want's to build one.

I have also seen Black/0range used instead of the Brown/Orange. Which is strange because Black/ with tracer is usually reserved for the intermediate Ground side of the primary circuit.
