Hi,

My cossy has just developed a fault when if standing still for a while (5 mins+) the temperature guage will go to the top of normal (before I switch it off) and the fans will not cut in at all. I have checked the fuse and it seems fine.

When driving around it doesn't overheat at all. Only when stationary.

Please help!!!

relay.

or the fuse box is melted

fan's dead?

the temp sender in rad not working, try crossing these wires to test

 

better check the connections at the fan and also the relay.

 

as spiky said check the last fuse commomn fault mate

 

Marco what do you mean 'last fuse'. Also what relay do I need to check.

Thx for the FAST ( ) help.

bump

 

have you check them all dude???

he means the fuse for the fans, as the fans want so much powre then drain more powre if the fans are struggling and melt the fuse box

 

the fuse for the ice crystal (guessing front heated windsreen) has bubbled up and meleted a bit in the fuse box, could this be causing it?? The actual fan fuse and surrounding plastic is fine. Do you know what number relay I need to check??

 

i dont sorry.


if part of the box hsa melted, under neath the wires might be fooked.

 

no worries, thx anyway.

 

Bridge the wires going to the switch in the rad with a piece of wire between the terminals on the block connector. If the fans come on then the problem is with the switch and not the power supply!

 

The relay you need to be looking at is the yellow one furthest left in the middle row when looking in fusebox from drivers side of car.This is wot happened to mine. HTH

 

Right, turns out it was that fuse I was talking about with the ice crystal for a sign. It's melted a bit around the fuse but works ok if bent in the right direction.

I see what you mean about the 1st fuse!! I wondered why all my dashboard lights, rev counter and thermo guage stopped working!!!

The fan fuse is a 15 but the fans have been uprated, can I put a 20 fuse in??? How can I stop the fuse box MELTING ???

Thx,

i wired my fans up on their own NEW relay and NEW fuse holder, never have to worry again

 

You will be best of re-wiring the fans, easy enough to do as i did mine

Here is the diagram to re-wire them

 

Cheers guys, spot on

 

Is that rad thermo switch wire 7amp???

This is what happened to mine, i've got a new loom from Daz C and it will be sorted

Heres the link for the loom and it really is a top peice of kit.

PM him and he will make one up for you when he gets a chance

Yeah I spoke to DazC and he's given me some advice on doing it myself. Trouble is I have the car booked in to be tuned on Sat and DazC can't get it done by then.

 

Anyone got any ideas on the ampage of the thermo switch wire???

 

Yeah i think it's 8 Amps, as it's only the control side for the relays so it wont pull a lot of current.

The power side for the fans draws the most on start-up. (about 15-25 Amps i think)

 

Thought so, thanks.
