Hi,

Can anyone tell me which fuse in the fuse box is the one for the rad cooling fans?

Fans aren't working, checked the fans work with a direct feed, checked the switch by bridging across it and i beleave the relay is working fine!

So i think it's either the fuse or the wiring, hopefully just the fuse but i have no idea which one it is


Any help greatly appreciated!!

 

Iirc its a red 30amp one that has probly melted into the fuse holder
Mine done the same but not too bad so I was able to wire a relay into the circuit and take the load away from that part of the fuseboard

 

All looks ok in the fuse box tbh, can you remember what number the fuse was in the box?

 

Common fault, they need rewiring, if the fuse does turn out to be melted or blown it will only be a matter before time before it or the relay or the melts again.

Basically the fan loom was sub standard to start with and the fans have a habit of staying on for much longer than they need to the standard fan switch actually has a 10 degree span and with the fans being a "Juicy" component this is why the fuses/relays melt.

The fuse is a green 30A one, can't remember number off hand but it's right at the front of the fuse box where the clip is to undo it as is the relay.

You can either DIY the fan loom with some heavy gauge wire a SPDT relay or you can buy then off ebay ready made. The fuel pump loom suffers from similar problem with old wiring and would also benefit from a re wire.

As said above sorry got colour wrong but you will see it is deformed and or discoloured

 

Thanks for that, I think I'm going to make a little loom up for the fan and do the fuel pump while I'm at it. Better to be safe than sorry I suppose,

Cheers

 

You only need a spst relay, only 30 minute job, but as said absolutely vital if you want your car to last.
