So 100% my AUX fan has failed.

Dougal. That may very well be it. I had oil pressure warnings -- changed op sender, read pressure readings, etc. While still chasing, I had a autologic connected and it pulled up bad aux. NOTE, that AC was absolutely just fine in standstill, so never noticed it being shot. Anyhow, now that I think about this in changing the AUX fan about a month later, the OP went away
