Thanks Gary.

In Ken Wilford's trouble shooting instructions
(http://www.vanagain.com/How2fan.htm) he says that if
you can get the fan to run on high and low speeds by
jumping the contacts on the fan temp switch then you
can assume that the wires and relays are ok.  I have
done this and both speeds work - are you suggesting
that there might still be aproblem with the relay?
