Quick update - this is why you should never trust your 18 year old self to have done something right:

This was an inline fuse that I had put under the carpet of all places. It fried, and this is why my electric fan had quit working. I had known for a while it was a shitty setup, but I didn't remember exactly how shitty.
Anyhow, this weekends project was re-doing the electric fan correctly, with a themostatic relay so that it can kick on based on temperature, instead of being on all the time. The wiring on this was pretty simple after it was all said and done, and the relay has an adjuster on it so I can change when the fan kicks on by a little set screw. I also have extra wiring for it to run another fan, but I only have a single for the moment. I was all set to put in a dual fan setup, but since the original one was still working after getting the wiring right I left it.
I started to dig into doing sensor replacements so I can put in the digital guage cluster, but when I opened it up, the face plates were the wrong color![[Image: 0oYyQZp.jpg]](http://imgur.com/0oYyQZp.jpg)
I have some emails out - but I wish I had opened to box sooner. I wasn't going to work on this while it was 20 degrees out. I hope they can just send me a new cluster with the right colors
