SteveB_TX Report post Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Hey Guys! I just wanted to share some photos I took while doing a modification to my Z. One of the Lincoln forum members posted about keeping the package shelf behind the rear seats free of obstacles because the HVB gets its cooling air from openings in the shelf. Well, here are the photos to prove it. :) HVB Cooling Inlet (RH) The HVB has two (2) cooling inlet tubes, one on each side of the HVB. The air is sucked in by the HVB cooling fan (see photo below) from the rear package shelf outer edges. HVB Cooling Fan This is what makes the one of the noises you may hear coming from the back end after you shut down your car. :) Edited January 8, 2014 by SteveB_TX 8 hybridbear, Skydogz, jeff_h and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeff_h Report post Posted January 8, 2014 Thanks for the pics - is there one cooling fan on that same side as the 12V battery, or is there one on each side? You mentioned two inlet tubes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just the one fan. Could you imagine the noise two of those monsters would produce! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have a picture showing the luggage area with the seat down, after re-assembly with your new trunk light location? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
