Thermo Fan

[Wanabe_Garage]

trying to figure out why my fan suddenly stoped working

fuse is not blown
tested the motor and fan not turning

what has happened?

was in the car working last night when i installed it

The obvious questions:
Has any wiring or anything come loose?
Or is it set to turn on when the motor heats up so it doesnt turn on when you first start it up?

more info?
is it a aftermarket fan? is it getting power and earth?

20 bucks says its your earth

[ke70dave]

yeah i'd go with that earth, fans just dont break man.....all they do is spin around http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

although, how is it hooked up? through the lil temperature sender thing? although im pretty sure that its designed so that they stay on all the time if the sender is stuffed....

yeah more info needed

earth was fine... (on battery earth)

it was hooked up to a norm open relay with the temp sender and manual (un ground) swith

The fan was an 11 amp fan and i fused it with a 15amp... could it be that a few more amps could blow the fan but not blow the fusampse if it wasn't more than 15?

hmmm... no come to think of it i was using 10amp wire......

Ive got a replacement fan but have yet to put it in...
