Default Overheating problem found, Fan switch melted..........

Carrying on from my other thread:

https://passionford.com/forum/ford-e...ml#post5936140

couldnt get my sniff tester to check for a head gasket today so decided to drop the coolant out and bleed the system up again, ran the car up and noticed the fans werent kicking in.

So i went to check if the fans worked by bypassing the fan switch, pulled the plug off and found this:



It now runs as it should and the pipes arent feeling like they are about to burst

BUT: this is the 2nd fan switch i have fitted in 2 months, and as you can see its got VERY hot!!

Has anyone ever had these issues before with a fan switch? as i dont want to cover up the problem by bypassing the switch....

Cheers Adam.
