!st. stage was to fix the 2 whisper fans in the kitchen area, since I had tested them and found 12.5 volts so something must be wrong with the motors. I ordered 2 new fans from Tom Hanlon on EBay, $19.98 shipped in from CA. Before we put everything back we checked to see if they would work, you guessed it, neither one of the new motors would work. We called Tom, after telling him the story he had no answer, but he told us to try one thing before we sent them back, and that was to take them outside to the real source. We checked all 4 motors and to our surprise all worked just fine. As most of you Gurus know it takes more than volts to turn a motor (amps) of which we didn't check, We assumed if we had 12.5 volts all was ok. Now onto the next phase while waiting on the shipment to come in we took the plenum blower motor out and it worked also. We went back to read all of the Gurus suggestions again. Found the one from Steve Magow and when I took the relay off the burn was in the same spot on the base. Now here is the kicker, I have all 10 amp fuses, none were blown, not only that all of my motors worked when I hooked them up direct to the battery. I know that since I have it apart I might want to replace it with a new one, but my thinking is if all of the motors are working then what is the real cause of the problem. Could it just be a weak spot in the relay? I bought 2 relays and one base and I'm hooking it up as it was, just to see what happens. Is there anything else working from this relay?
