like anybody cares but may be useful for somebody in the future... tested the fan with jumper from battery...not cutting on... then tested my fan from my xj... that worked... the plastic connector on the wiring harness on the grand melted so I had to wire in a new connector that I had from a spare window motor.... got fan from jy and every thing is good now... this site is great!
