I've been having overheating problems with my 2013 Scrambler (and it's not mud in the radiator). I was reading several threads and it sounds like this problems is not uncommon and a common cause is the fan circuit breaker (oops I called it a relay in the title)

While investigating the issue I discovered that the hot air from the fan blows onto the circuit breaker. Its very possible that the heat is causing premature breaker failure.
I decided to order a slightly different breaker (with a manual reset in a plastic housing) and relocate it to a cooler area of the ATV. Using 10 awg wire and the products in the pic, it's done! The new location is under the display housing - should get plenty of cool air there.
So hopefully it works - just wanted to share the pics before I went to bed....
