My MaxxFan 5100k fan has the auto temperature circuit
That circuit died and the fan no longer would come on at a certain temp setting
According to the techs at Maxxair, the fan board should not see any more than 13.9 volts DC.
The guys at MaxxAir sent me a replacement board, no charge
They also said they order these boards by the shipload, so it's not an uncommon event.
Anyone who monitors voltages from their starter battery circuit or a separate cabin AGM battery circuit, probably already knows that voltages can exceed 14 volts DC easily when charging is taking place
Watch my Youtube video for more info about what I did to keep the fan voltage at 12 volts DC
There's a link in the video description to the Buck converter I am using
