Mike, Aaron just had a similar issue I think or maybe I'm thinking of you... I don't remember but I thought the relay worked.

So now I am going to just put in a relay and switch on the tach power wire so I can have it off when I start the car and then power it up after. Already tested to see if that would work and it does.

I swear the one night I don't lock my car and someone gets into it... They didn't take anything, but decided to adjust my seat rear view mirror and steering wheel. Left all my doors open, trash everywhere. Guess it's time to detail the car and oil change

The fan is behind the glove box and easier to get to than you think.

B5's aren't any more needy than your average BMW. If you keep up on routine maintenance, outside of the occasional hiccup they'll run forever.
