Hi!

Lengthy post coming up

I'm the owner of a 1996 Escort 1.6 16v,LHD (I'm Romanian) and the car is acting up.Bottom rad hose blew and it seems the cause is the radiator fan not kicking in.The fan seems to be on a dual speed setup (the car has AC which doesn't seem to work,I don't really care about that it's just that from what I've read the AC should turn the rad fan on regardless of temp.It doesn't.).First checked the resistor found on the fan housing,it says 0.23 ohm on it however my DMM reads 18.5 K ohm so the resistor is probably gone.Replaced the resistor with a thick piece of wire,still no low speed,or any speed for that matter.Then I moved on to the 4 contact thermo-switch I found in the upper rad hose.One wire is live(12V) and when I connect that to another wire in the opposite(diagonal) part of the connector,the fan comes on with what seems to be High speed(it still works if I take off that wire I used in place of the fan Low-speed resistor).I think this triggers the green relay just behind the battery as I connect those 2 wires from the thermo switch loom.The other 2 wires I guess should be the Low speed part,there's no live on any of those 2 and when I used the live from the high speed on the remaining wire the fan still didn't work.For now I'm left with manually controlling the fan via a switch wired to the thermo-contact thing in the upper rad hose,high speed.
BTW:30A fuse in port 22 of in-car fuse box checks out fine.The thermo switch seems to be the cause of my fan problems so far,apart from the low-speed circuit.Is there a separate relay/circuit for that?I'd like to sort out the wiring/relay and whatnot before replacing the thermo-switch and resistor.

Sorry for the lengthy post,hope I got it all covered

 

In other(fewer) words,is there anyone that has the MK7 workshop manual or a clue about the Low-speed radiator fan electrical circuit?

 

I have a Haynes manual, when I get chance I will take a photo of the wiring diagram and add it on here for you.

 

Still on manual control here

 

use torent
just search for ford escort pdf

or use autodata or something for that

I thint that thermo switch is broken and that is main problem
ther is no low and high speed there are two fans...one is for car and other is when air con work

 

My car only has one fan and a resistor in series that was used for low-speed.The thermo switch is gone,I already know that.I need the wiring diagram so I can figure out how low-speed works.

 

there is no low speed just one speed and it work only if temperature is high or if its air con on

if you know that thermo switch is broken why dont you change it and everthing will be ok
its around 10euro cost...

this is for outside temp. so you cant turn on air con when is low temperature outside

i think that is 20 Euros my bad
