Don't know if this has been posted before. Did a search and the list were large :(

The Radiator Fan in me Tipo has stopped coming on.

The Fan still works, I plugged it in to a Direct power source and it spun.

The Thermostat was replaced not too long ago as a precaution. (The old one still worked but I was paronoid it was kicking in late)

All the fuses are intact.

There is water in the radiator and the water pump works.

I'm fine as long as I keep moving but if I do get stuck in traffic for excess amounts of time I'll be done for :(

Any Ideas?

Thanks guys. (y)

Sounds like a dodgy switch...

By switch you mean where the power cable plugs into the fan or the other switch on the Radiator?

The Power "switch" Male and Female were also replaced recently (less then a year)

I'm looking through the Haynes and it says something about another "switch" on the bottom left corner of the Radiator, I'll have a look, if it exists I'll go scrappy and take one off a less fortunate Tipo.

Thanks bruv (y)

Yeah I meant the one actually on the rad :eek:
 
Found the Problem...

There was a cable loose from the power source to the Male Plug which goes into the female socket on the fan.

I don't know if this Plug/Socket arrangement is referred to as the "switch" or not but in anycase it should be working now, haven't had time to test it but I trust my sk1llz!
