the fan should com on when the temp goes above 90...

if it doesnt there could b a few different things that are wrong,
1. fan could b shot
2. switch doesnt work
3. thermostat isnt workin so isnt tellin fan to com on
4. blockage in radiator pipe so thermostat isnt gettin any info

stuff like that really man.

thanks mate!! thats a g8 help.

no problem man...

this is a worse case senario!!!
my fan stopped workin an the car kept over heatin, thought it was the fan, rigged up a manual switch to keep it on while drivin, got to the point where that didnt work an it over heated while the fan was on an one day droppin my bro off at college it wouldnt start, the head gasket whad been warped by the heat! nice

found out the thermostat switch wasnt switchin the fan on, that cost peanuts, but the head gasket cost £360! ouch

s**t!! well im guna ava look 2nite and c if i can get it goin!! thanks 4 ur help.

i just hope i can sort the promblem out.B)

First, Disconnect the sensor in the radiator and put an opened up paper clip across the connections in the plug.

Ignition on and either the fan will spin up to full speed, which is good. Or, the fan will spin slowly and the paperclip will glow, this is bad, or it won't work at all, which could be slightly better than item two, but worse than one.

If the fan spins slowly and the paperclip glows, fit a new fan assembly, simple as that.

If it spins up to full speed, could be the sensor faulty, change it.

If it fails to turn at all, check the fuse. If the fuse is OK, check the power supply with a meter or test lamp.

I put a seperate power supply into my fan, direct from the battery, fused of course, so that the fan will run with the ignition off, allowing extra cooling after a hot run.

the fan runs with the ignition off anyway doesnt it? mine always has done, ie cut the engine and the fan carries on. Also, when i grounded the fan switch so i could force the fan on, it worked with the ignition off

OK, but neither of mine did, until converted.
