My first GMC had a nice set of engine vents installed. Little known to my new guy status, there was a typical marine compartment axial blower ( driver side) installed to power vent the engine compartment. It had an elaborate electronic control panel consisting of era specific relays, sensors, etc. to control the engaging of the motor of the powered vent. I did have a hand sketch of the wiring, but was of dubious value.
I was pumping gas the first time I encountered it in action. Thought the coach was on fire.
I replaced the wiring with a simple dash switch. Engaging the axial blower would drop the temperature gauge immediately. Worked very nicely in the Hot Deep South Summers.
