Had the gt out for spin over the weekend and found the fan had stopped working, suspecting a blown fuse , fuse was ok so tried a new resistor and spare fan but no joy . A mate had a look and found there was no power getting to the positive side of the fuse it was showing a good earth , put direct power to the motor it worked, I also found the wipers and washers front & rear not working either yet the fuses are all ok , I’ve checked the two earthing points on the inner footwells and the are sound no rust etc , would there be a separate relay for all this ? , there are some in the glove box and a few on the rear of the fuse board .
Thanks Steve .
 
I’ve searched the forum and there maybe a link to the ignition switch relay which is on the rear of the fuse box , will try to get one [emoji1303]
 
I’ve found it was the relay that is faulty, it’s number 10 in the photo, tried another one of same ampage and everything works ????
It’s the yellow 30 amp one for the washers , must power the heater blower too.
The relay is specific to the GT and some Alfa’s according to the dealer. They quoted me £120 for a new one ?, I’ve picked up a used one from an Alfa spyder for £10 .
