Interesting find

although Im not too sure what (if anything) to make of it.

last week I installed an idiot light to let me know when the fan is running.
it works great, coming on only when it is supposed to.

but what i have since found that when at highway speeds, there id a slight glow to the bulb. It goes out when I slow down to city speeds.

my theory is that the fan starts to spin from the air moving thru the radiator and fan causing the motor to produce a slight amount of electricity.

Im guessing that this is back feeding into the system which would be a good thing, right?

any other ideas?
