Title: cooling fan plug
Post by: essexceltic on 09 September 2008, 15:13:34

hi all new to the forum.

i have just got my omega 2.5 v6 and the fan plug has 2 wires connected so it runs when the keys is turned on. can anyone tell me please where i plug the fan into so that it comes on intermit and not on all the time.

i have looked and cant see where the connection is to plug in.

any pics would be helpful

many thanks in advance

If you have the aircon switched on the fan will run continuously ... do you have air con and is it switched on ??? :)

what has happened is someone has unplugged from under the bonnet and put a cross wire so the fan stays on all the time. i need to find out where the connector  goes so i can plug it back in.
thank you for reply

On the fan itself, or on the rad switch?

think its the temperature switch to stop overheating

Fact its unplugged suggests the switch is fubar - has it suffered oil cooler failure at some point?

The switch is just below top rad hose :)

Possibly, it is near the main 0v cable.

Keep eye on temp, esp in traffic, it may have been shorted out for a reason (ie, switch knackered).  If it goes above 97C on gauge, you have a problem!
