Jimmy Jazz 0 Posted May 13, 2007 My fan does not work and I was wondering what the likely problem is... Is it more likely to be the switch or the motor??? James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted May 13, 2007 Probably the wiring. The contacts one the switch can corode and need cleaning up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTI6BOY 29 Posted May 13, 2007 take out the plug on the fan switch on the rad(its a 3 pin). Take a piece of speaker wire and touch it between two terminals (try diff combinations), you should have two speeds If the fans come on then you need a new fan switch If not then take the gray plug from the fans (behind the pass headlight), should be a black and red cable, connect this direct to the battery. If it does not come on then the fan is fcuked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy Jazz 0 Posted May 14, 2007 It is the fan switch!!! So all I need to do is blast another one on... Is GSF a suitable place to get one??? Never bothered with them before because i have heard bad things about them. James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy Jazz 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Got a new switch today... this may sound lazy but is it possible to spanner the other one off and quickly shove the new switch in before loosing too much coolant? or is it best to do it the standard way and drain all the coolant, take the rad out etc. James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_the_Sparky 9 Posted May 16, 2007 Sod draining anything - you don't want to believe everything the joke book (Haynes) tells you! Rob P.S. Do try to avoid soaking the electrical connector though in the process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy Jazz 0 Posted May 20, 2007 I didn't bother draining anything. It was so much quicker doing it my way. 10min job. easy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
