So why is the engine cooling fan behind the radiator running then?

(air con runs the air con fan(s) in front of the radiator.)

It was a suggestion made without thinking too much .......  it's late  ::) What some describe as 'behind', others describe as 'in front'  :-\

Maybe I missed a  :-\ :-\ out .....  ;)

Somewhere out there on the interweb there is a set of instruction on how the fans are meant to work and how to test them.

I once found the link on ABS and more recently found a link on the Cadillac Catera forum.

Buggered if I can find it now though :(
