Defcon5 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 If its not overheating whats the problem? If it doesnt reach the trip temp it wont come on.Power the fan directly and see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobG Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Is it seized up? Eg can you spin it by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj_lupz Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Tested the fan today and it works, so it could be the thermostat?And it over heated yesterday in a traffic jam.Any other help/advice?"John" - Is that the plug which is located below the top hose?

Defcon5 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 If it were the stat it would overheat all the time, not just when stationary.AFAIK there is only one sensor on the rad, which is the fan switch, on the right hand side of the rad as you look at it from in front of the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
