Re: More fan troubles



There are several reasons the fans could be running constantly. 
Whithout knowing what the condition of your wiring is or what relays 
have been changed I am only guessing. First pull one of the wires off 
the otterstadt switch located on a coolant pipe on the left side of 
the engine. If that stops the fans then just replace it. (Make sure 
the clip is on it and also replace the seal and NEVER use silicon on 
it.) If that doesn't stop the fans you could have a stuck relay or 
maybe someone just rewired the car. You could try pulling the fan 
relay but that won't tell you anything. You will have to troubleshoot 
the circuit using M:18:10. If you have the blue fan fail relay either 
install the jumper or get a Fanzilla. Make sure you have the upgraded 
circuit breaker and all of the connections are clean and tight.
