Thanks to all for the comments.

IMHO, i do not think the DME has that much control or temperament as to know whether the fans are on or of. It just turns em on. I suspect this because I forgot to hook one of them one day DME did not turn on the CEL or anything. I had it like that for at least 2 days, plenty of time for the DME to notice I guess. Also, a friend of mine had one of his fans not working and the DME did not tell him nuthin'. He just noticed an increase in operating temp. We checked each side and noticed that one of the sides was not turning on...

For sure, the last thing I need is to 'piss off' the DME (or damage it in the process). Can anybody else give their opinion on this?

Thanks,
Fred
