Hi there...

Was wondering if anyone can help regarding a problem with my bro's frst. Last night he calls me and says his fans haven't cut in and the heaters dont work inside the car I've heard that this is a fault with them due to a relay in the fuse box is this right?
Also if this is the case do ford's stock them and does anyone know the part number??

Cheers people

 

 

BEHIND YOUR FUSE BOX, WHERE THE ACTUAL RELAYS SIT, THERES A GREEN RELAY WHICH IS PRONE TO BURN UP A BIT FROM TIME TO TIME.

THIS RELAY CONTROLS THE FAN, FOG LAMPS AND HEATER.

JUST UNDO THE TWO FUSE BOX SCREWS UNDER THE FUSE BOX PLASTIC COVER, PUSH THE BOX INTO THE FOOTWELL AND REPLACE THE RELAY. TEN MINUTE JOB.

HOPE THIS SOLVES THE PROBLEM.

 

TA MATEY!!!!

 

Oh well wont work got the relay still wont work had to bridge it from the battery
Has too have fan on a switch that looks dog turd!!!

 

thats the same as my xr2i, happened to the one i had before as well

 

Honestly looks bad dodgy switch and that!!! Mate reckons fuse board is on its way

 

im really pissed of my fan wont cut in either started saturday ive changed the fuses and it still wont cut in my heating still works tho can any1 help

 

that might be the thermostat then

 

Fan problems....

Check:
Fan switch and wiring as they can melt.
Green relay and board as they to can melt.

Sort one or both and your fan should be ok

 

On my brothers fuse board they wasn't a green relay

Got one and tried every relay still wont work at all...Board looks okish IMO...

 

check the fan switch and wiring .....

 

Going down to help him later, he's having the fun task of fitting a clutch quadrant

 

thats not a too bad of a job of the mk3.

if your bro dont have a green relay he prob get a yellow one so get a green one and try that but norm cleaning the pins with some wet and dry or a knife and giving then a tiny and i mean a tiny bend 99.9% gets it all working again

 

Cheers mate will give it a go....
