Hi list, I wanted to share with the list something I feel can be of help to 
others.  I have been driving quite a bit on my shinny red B with out any 
problems. However, when I returned home I noticed that my engine was a bit 
hot although not overheating. I placed my hand behind the radiator and 
noticed that only half of the radiator was cool. Hmmmm? both fans worked 
fine and kicked in at correct temperature?  A closer look and the righthand 
fan was turning the wrong way!  How could this happen if the fan clips to 
the harness can only go in one direction? It turns out that the wires in 
the clips were flipped from factory. I took the clip apart flipped the 
wires and WBTM* problem fixed. Now the engine works much cooler and after a 
long ride there is very little radiant heat from the engine 
compartment.  Cheers, Enrique
