Re: White smoke

My wife and son came home last year telling me that the car smelled funny.
The smell was like asbestos burning. The connector for the cooling fan was melted. The fan had shorted out. THe wiring was fried too.
They drove the van not bothering to look at the temp. I think it was triggering the very high temp fan for a long time. When I opened the hood, it was like a blast furnace. I was thankful that I had done the plenum and lower intake job earlier, and that I did not have a blow out.
