Not that anyone cares but I like to update these when I ask for help.

I had no fire and no fuel. I searched out all the wires and found nothing unusual. So I replaced the ECM ($300 ouch) and it started right up. As far as the fan control unit, I just didn't trust hooking it back through the ignition system. I bought a new rheostat that was much simpler than the one I had before. I hooked one side of the rheostat to the battery (and inserted a 25 amp fuse between them) and the other side of the rheostat to the positive side of the fan. I hooked the negative side of the fan to the negative terminal of the battery. When I turn the Jeep off the fan runs for about 15 seconds before shutting off. I just did not trust connectinig it back through any of the existing circuits. I think this should work out ok.

Now that the All-terrain Politicalmobile is running strong again.... all is right with the world.


PS: Good instincts there Sneakin Deacon. You got me moving in the right direction. Thanks.
