Just prior to the fan cutting out I faintly hear what sounds like a click (up to three clicks) of a relay behind the glove compartment box. Not sure if that has anything to do why the fan (blower) stops momentarily or not, but can't figure out why it's happening. Any ideas? Thanks!

Yes, my 95 RR LWB has the same dash as the Disco. The next time the fan cuts out I'll immediately switch to a different fan speed and see if that immediately turns the fan back on. If so, then I'll know where my problem lies. Beliee it or not the analog clock in the RR makes a periodic clicking sound so this is maybe the sound I was hearing (intead of a relay) although the clicking sound I heard just before the fan cut out seemed a bit louder. The next few days will give me a chance t see what happens. Thanks again!   Arthur S. Au (Arthur) Posted on Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 07:04 am:    I've had this happen but it has gone away. When it happens, if you play with the switch, problem resolves itself. Contact cleaner should help though I never tried it. All I did was with the truck off, flick kinda quickly, the fan speed control from 0 to 4 back and forth a few times to clean the contact.   David Posted on Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 08:47 am:    Thanks Arthur, I just tried this moments ago and I'll see if that clears it up the intermitant fan problem. I hope it nothing more than dirty contacts in the fan switch.
