I am still trying to figure out how to use one of those multi digital meters....but have fixed the fan anyhow.

The general thoughts were that this thing had a lose connection. I replaced the connection...verifying it was good and snug...and have had no probs since. I have checked the wire and it does not feel as though it is getting overly warm. To avoid the lose connections in the future, I am going to use a soldering gun and be done with it.

thanks guys as always,
Ryan
