This is a very interesting question. If in fact the ECU does get hot
---- I have never checked mine that way - it is not reasonable to mount
a fan on it somehow. The CPU's on todays computers have both radiating
fins for heat disapation and fans mounted on them. Why not the V-gon
ECU? Expecially if they do get warm/hot sitting under that back seat
with no circulating air!!


Anybody???
