Rad Fan/s

Postby clee » Sat May 19, 2007 6:09 pm

I have removed the twin fan AC setup and associated relay/fusing/loom.I'm left with a two wire connector to the fan/fans and the rad thermo switch both of which go into the loom .Is this remaining circuit fused and on a relay or do I need to rewire it ????

It may well do.......... but is it protected ???? The AC setup had a completely seperate loom incorporating temp dials,blower etc.There was a feed from the remaining fan wires up to the double relays .................

When i ripped out my AC i plugged the fans back into the main loom and everything has been working fine since.
I'm sure they are protected by fuses but can't say for sure!! :D

Have you looked at the wiring diagram?
Have you removed all the fuses, 1 by 1 to see what happens?

I have looked at the diagram ,it just looked back at me :lol: Shorting the temp switch powers the remaining wires up so I'll pull some fuses .....................There's supposed to be a AC related fan fuse in the main holder ,we'll see :roll:

Been too busy re-doing the fuel lines today :evil: They were fine on initial start but today decided to spring a leak on the most inaccessible joint :roll:
Good news is that on the second start and warm up , oil pressure on tickover is in the 6 :D
It's a bit like first child at the minute :oops: constantly listening out for odd noises, panicking something's up :lol:
