Hazard Light Button & Fan Update

I'm quickly becoming big fans of the DMC folks down in Houston. I've previously spoken to the CEO Stephen Wynne (no not the Vegas casino king) about my original pursuit of the Dallas car. He had some really good advice. Earlier this week I had posted a want thread on dmctalk.org for a hazard light button. James Espey (the VP) over at DMC Houston asked for my address and mailed me the button free of charge. Here it is installed:


I also had them turn an order for me online very fast. Ordered on a Wednesday - Parts arrived on a Friday. Props to those guys and their business. 

A quick update on the cooling fans - I found that one of the fan wires in the relay compartment (the left fan) had no continuity. I tested the fan directly and it worked so there is a wiring problem between the fan and the relay compartment. Instead of trying to hunt down the failed wiring, I'm going to run a replacement wire (14 gauge) from the relay compartment all the way to the fan. I'll have to pick up a 25' spool of wire this weekend, as all the wire I had in my garage was 10' or less (left over from other projects).
