Just replaced cooling fan and relay in 96 850T. All working well for a few weeks until I noticed that fan was cutting out for no apparent reason taking the A/C with it in 99d heat in DC area. Poking around I found that the long black cylindrical part [looks like a lg black crayon with gr/red wires] that is inline on the fan's wiring harness is getting so hot that I burned my finger touching it. It is probably a capacitor, but I am just guessing. Any electricians out there? Anyone have any thoughts on why the heat? Is this the culprit? Seems like after it cools down, the fan is fine. Yes, have checked new relay, she's OK.
