Ha! Never heard that one before. To the earlier question, I had wired in the PD fuse box myself, and PIM found and fixed a couple of my not-so-great connections when they did the headlight motor; so I was at fault there. They said they also fixed and cleaned up all the wiring in the console (some of which was mine, so of which was there before me). I don't know what they wired into the ignition switch though... but sounds like the fans are directly wired into it if they are turning on with the key, right?
I replaced my ampmeter with a voltmeter but could never get it to work; PIM fixed that in the last round of work.
As for headlights, I'm pretty sure mine raise and work regardless of key in the ignition... but now I'm not sure. Will check when I get home.
