why not just test the fan in situ, or do you love making things hard for yourself?

I just fitted a new spal type fan and at the same time binned the renault part of the fan loom and just wired it to the alternator and relay via the fan switch.

just checked and the fan still works so it must be the rad switch....funny thing is it was working perfectly normal but loudly before my steam clean...Got it steamed parked it up and it was working, serviced the carb and started again and no fan :scratch:

How did you test it? by just putting power to the fan? or by shorting the two wires on the fan switch?

If you short the two wires on the fan switch and it doesn't power up then the fault is possibly with the wiring/relays. However if it does then you can safely assume the fan switch is fubar.
