been having problems with my rad fan latley with it not coming on.
baiscally it looks like one of the pins that goes into the switch on the rad moves back and forth therefore not making contact with the switch.

as when i bridged the connections the fan would come on.

ive also just noticed that my relay was hanging about the bay. so ive just tied that up and sorted out a join in the rad switch wireing.

now when i bridge the rad fan switch the relay is clicking. what could be the cause of this? cheers

Well pop some new connectors on the fan wire that are loose, and if you fancy switch the relay. then again if it works why fix it

the connectors for the rad fan switch are weird really small things and i dont think ill be able to get any. ill check the connection though.
will try the relay to. cheers

Just normal spade connectors will do. Just squash them onto the fan pins with some pliers.;)

could someone please tell me what the 92/82 degrees actually means? does it mean the fan should come on at 92 degrees and go off at 82? cheers
