Issues with FFR Daytona:
1. Turn signal stopped working. Fuse intact. Pulled the fuse panel on the Ron Harris harness. Found no obvious loose wires or bad connections. Re-installed fuse panel. Turn signals work.
2. Air conditioner fan stopped working. Fuse intact. Tabled problem for later action.
3. Today, electric fan stopped working. Green indicator light is illuminated. Fuse intact. Radiator boils over. Called AAA for haul back to my garage.

Any ideas for trouble-shooting or professional assistance?

That's going to be a tough one without knowing how each one is wired. First the turn signal, is it on a toggle or is it Russ's VW switch? If it stopped and then started after moving the fuse panel then there is a loose connection somewhere. The other issues, did they start when the turn signal issue happened or after the fuse panel was moved? I would first look at any connectors that may not have good contact. Check for voltage at the switch and work your way out to the motor or back to the fuse box if no power is found at the switch. Good luck.

I bought a relay for the electric radiator fan. The fan now operates as it should when the toggle switch is on. The turn signal ceased functioning before the fuse panel was detached from the frame. It regained function when the panel was reattached. Today it no longer works. I installed a new relay today and it still does not work.
