OP asked about possibility of setting the fan to 100% full time...I didn't mean to imply you would have.

Has anyone ever just taken the fan connector out and soldered the wires together? Seems like an easy solution.

there are at least 2 threads on this solution, gotta use terminal blocks instead.

I'm tracking you now. Since my ground wire died on me about a year ago, I bet it melted the connector. I'll take it apart today and see what carnage awaits. What is the connector there for anyway? Why isn't it just hard wired? Can anyone see a reason why I can't just use a terminal block/ barrier (http://radioshack.com/product/index....ductId=2103228) to link the wires together?

Is there a fuse built somewhere in the wiring to protect the controller itself? If so, why does the connector melt? If not, maybe I should wire a fuse in there.
