Re: [DML] Cooling Fan doesnt kick on - SOMETIMES



Hi Mike

Go to the relay compartment. On the lower left hand side (front right in the car's perspective) there's a blue socket. This should have 2 or three wires in it instead of a relay. If you have the blue fan fail module, this is most likely the culprit. Otherwise it may well be the relay next to it, which drives the fans and is not really strong enough to be reliable (esp after 20 years!). Both of these are fixed by the FanZilla and/or John Hervey's FanFix. (or a bit of creative re-wiring and a hoffing big relay etc etc.)

Actually it's worth pointing anyone to the article by Darryl Tinnerstet in the first edition of the 'Zine here

ftp://dmcnews.com/pub/zine001.pdf

Apart from being a very good tech article on re-wiring the fans to have individual relays, it includes a very useful layout diagram of all the relays. I refer to it regularly.

I turned the air on, which I understand is supposed to FORCE the front fans on, and it didn't....

Next day, I went out.... the fans kicked on at 218 or so, and when the air was on, the fans came on....
