Hi Martin and Tabetha



Thanks for your feedback very much appreciated.


Spent most of the day belling out the circuitry to have clearly understanding as how the system is configured. It would appear after testing the wires I have broken blue wire near the fusebox. Can't get underneath the fusebox as the people at ford didn't leave a enough slack in the cable to be able to check the underneath terminations. Therefore I will go with your suggestion to re-wire the circuit.


Couple of questions reference the re-wire


  1. Would you recommend using the same 40amp relay and cable sizes.
  2. Where can I purchase the relay and base unit, would I be able to purchase these items at a normal car spares shop, or would it be maplin / rs.
  3. Is there a need for a relay if I wire the rad switch wiring to the same cable size as the fans.
As per your question was the car overheating when driven, I can confirm yes. I noticed the temperature gauge had gone up plus the rev counter needle was bouncing all over the place which leads me to think I have another problem apart from the broken blue wire to one of the fans. Any suggestions ?
