Bypassed my fan switch so fans were on constantly the first time the fan switch melted,
Fans have stopped working again,
checked relays, none melted

Will run a straight off the battery to the fans tomorrow to check they havent died,

Any ideas before i burn the shit?.......

 

sounds like it not getin colded off right have ya checked the thermastat in it or for leaks in the system and is the rad leakin at all ? the fan check the wires too them and they mite need changed over for new ones

 

Its definately the fans not kicking in fella, its holding coolant fine, will get the multimeter out tomorrow

 

you bypassed the fan switch to make them work..tried a new fan switch ? how did you bypass them ? looped wire in the fan switch plug?
ah,i re read,you did that originally..id still try another one.

 

Hello Jon, its currently bypassing the fan switch by looping the wire (soldered together with shrink wrap) thats why i was abit stumped when i couldnt see any melted relays......

 

well the green relay is the one to watch mine melted ever so slightly and took out the fans ,heater and and boot release lol check them on the battery and go from there.

 

Will do, cheers fella,

 

Still overheating with the fans running constantly?
If so, you've either got, head gasket, water pump or rad problems!

 

Sorry, just read the first post correctly!
I'd say your fans fooked then!

 

i thought it said that to start with and id of said blocked rad..fans arent working though

 

Sorry guys wasnt the clearest have edited the first post

 

It's a very bad idea to have the fans running all the time, as there not needed, so warm up times will be longer which does the engine no good, not to mention the fans take massive power, hence why they cycle only when needed!

It's overheating for a reason, by simply turning the fans on you won't cure the problem!

Have you tested the relay to make sure it's working?

OP bypassed the fan switch to make the fans work, so that won't be the problem!

Depending on how long you have had them running permanently for there is a chance you may have burnt the wiring out etc!

i think personally that you have used the wrong wiring to the switch. . was the wiring proper 30amp wiring with a fuse?? if so then take out the plug that plugs into the fan switch i bet its burnt out! change the plug and check the wiring

 

Personally i think you havent read my first post, i have bypassed the plug

 

In any case the switch does not have a live connection to it anyway!

Martin

 

All sorted blown 15 amp fuse only downer is MSD dont have any uprated fan switches left

 

Just use the standard one for now, it will be better than having them on permanently .

Martin

 

Having them on perminately lasted longer than any fan switch i have had now im running 2 fans and a front mount!....

 

Then you have a problem if your melting fan switches, the live hasn't been wired via the switch has it?

Martin

 

Correct, the problem being the wires/plug cant handle enough voltage to run the aftermarket twin fans, so i have ordered a msd uparted fan switch and changed the wire to 30 amp

 

It makes no difference as to what switch you have, the only difference is the span, "Uprated" is just a fancy word.

The reason why you are having trouble is because you are switching the live, so you will just end up in the situation again!

Righto mate.

 

did u get this shit sorted mate ?
