Well I thought the A/C Condenser fan problem had been resolved
Not so much, on the return from Malin Mi the A/C quit working again, well the air was still coming out of the ducts, just not cold.
Went back and check everything again and found that I was getting no voltage out of the supply side of the circuit breaker.
The breaker check out ok. When I wiggled it the fan started working again. So...
The breakers were removed and I could see that there was a problem with the contact in the circuit breaker block.
I removed the block.
and when it was flipped over I found indications that the supply side terminal was getting hot. Note the lower right side.
I took the block apart and found the terminal mounting had melted and the terminal was pushed to one side.
Time for a new circuit breaker block. Now I figured that this would be an impossible part to find. Turns out this is a very common part. I found it on the NAPA online catalog (GRO 822303) called up the local NAPA store and they had it the next morning waiting for me.
Turns out the hard part to find is a resettable circuit breaker with at ATC base. I have had to order that from Gillig (Gillig part# 51-43120-003)
So the new circuit breaker block is in place.
The breakers reinstalled and the fan now works again.
On another note Gillig was able to find the Tail pipe extension (Gillig part # 55-32698-000N) 4-6week lead time, it has been ordered.
