    have to be very fussy what brands you buy now

    I'm running live from the fuse box to one spade and fan live to other, fan is grounded to the body and fan works when switch is bypassed

    i think so ...hot air gun and a meter , open when cold /closes when hot ?

    assume you could rig it up to a battery /light bulb as a tester?

    did you mark any you returned , not unheard of for the morons to put them straight back on the shelf , might be sending the same one out again lol
