- I installed a new wiring harness in my TR6 this weekend, and I've run into some trouble testing the heater fan motor. Am I testing it right? My car has no battery, among other things, so I'm using a

- Tom, my suggestion would be to first check that the fan spins freely, and then repeat your tests using a real battery rather than a battery charger. DC motors normally have a very low resistance whe

- One can put a capacitor inline to smooth out the voltage fluctuations. If my memory serves me correctly, I used two 2,000 microFarad capacitors in parallel for a total of 4,000 microFarads. This was

- Interesting. Just for grins I tried to power my fan from the charger - no joy. But it spun right up with the battery! Who woulda thunk it. Good call Randall! J -- Jim Hassall Blacksburg VA jhassall@b

- And then what voltage did your capacitors charge to ? Again, if your charger is like mine, you're going to get something like 18-20 volts, which would explain the high current. Especially when appli

- --Original Message-- I need to correct the above. The capacitor is connected across the battery charger leads with positive side of the capacitor connected to the positive cable of the charger. I di

- Not inline. Capacitors for filtering go from hot to ground. A "PI" filter works well: Capacitor to ground, then an inline coil, then another capacitor to ground. -- Phil Ethier West Side Saint Paul M
