The aux fan isn't coming on, the ac isn't coming on, and both were working prior, I've checked fuses and fuseable links, no obvious issues anywhere. Need some Renix gurus to help. Its an '88 Laredo 4.0

But yea even people who said they didn't have other problems said the smell was lingering for way too long and was strong.

I'm probably going to just spend some money on some Dynamat. I was going to layer it over the floor after I patch the hole.

I can't remember exactly but when it came down to cost the fatmat wasn't all that much cheaper than the dynamat. I dunno.

Let me know how it goes.

There is an online store, that pays for shipping, and will quote your cat from a picture. I took a picture of my father's old cat off his 02' Tacoma and they quoted me $160. BTW, they also have a look-up so you can see how much yours may be. They emailed a shipping slip, I boxed up and on it went. Easy transaction, and I made $160 while drinking a beer and settling my belly.
