Default Re: purchasing my srt6 yet another hiccup

I remember my explorer was a pain in the neck I had to drive it about 200 miles to run the computer thru its cycles before the emissions station would test it.Anyone have any experience with this ?
YES---50 amp fuse under the hood---in a box of three---passenger side---It controls the fan motor---when the fan is not working on high speed the PCM cuts the A/C to help the car not overheat. You would have MORE problems if you had a bad computer---The PCM is doing its job---I have had 7 Crossfires and this has happen to 2 of them. Good luck---Jimmy
