Is there anyway to get to a connector on the ventilation fan to apply 12V and determine if the fan is bad? The control panel fan indicator lights up (which runs off the same relay and fuse), but the fan doesn't run. I would like to determine if the fan is good or bad before removing the tank to get at it and was wondering if there is a way to do this.
Thanks! |

You will have a hard time figuring out voltage at the switch. All you are doing is selecting a ground. 12V is applied on the red wire going into the fan.
You can gain access to it if you got REALLY small hands. pull the plug and you should be able to read 12V there. While you are in there see if you can get the fan to spin by pushing it with anything other than a chopstick.
