Fan not coming on??

[brougand]

Hello all,

Basically my fan isn't coming on, I've just changed the temperature sensor in the rad but still no luck, what should I do next??

Many thanks

u can try running 12V to the fan see if it comes on if dnt then fan fooked
checked the fuse's ???

Yeah ive checked the fuses. Would attaching a multimeter and looking for some kind of resistance values or a producing a voltage when I turn the fan by hand also show if its working or not?

just run a wire from the positive on the battery to the fan to see if the fan unit itself is working then yiu can rule that out

right so I just run a copper wire from the positive on the battery to one of the pins on the temp sensor and if the fan kicks in it means the sensor is working?

No, run two wires, from positive to fans positive, then the other to earth, to rule out a knackered fan

Thermastat working? It shouldnt come on easily iirc.
