My fan didn't kick in yesterday I pulled over straight away. I took the two wires out of the fan switch in the rad and touched together and nothing checked for power and seemed intermittent so I guess a loose connection. My wiring is pretty dodgy looks like my fan is connected straight to the alt via the switch I don't think that's right??
I've wired it straight to the battery for now with an inline fuse it might be staying like that till I can get a new loom.
Think that is right that wiring goes to the alternator however would check wiring diagram. Some of the wiring for the alternator also goes to the starter motor lol
The wires for the rad fan go to a relay in front of the engine, this is always corroded, the wires from that go to the alternator.
Yeah thought it was supposed to go to the relay but it didn't tbh the wiring under my bonnet is appalling , connector city.
I have same problem. It looks like the previous owner put a wire directly from the battery around to the alternator and then wired in a separate relay because the OE fan relay socket is badly corroded. Im having to strip all this out and try to repair it atm. Theres also wires to the oil pressure sensors and the fan temp switch all in the same area there.Originally Posted by Dan y
