What ive bought today is as follows:

30amp relay
rocker switch
8amp wire
27amp wire

Can someone help me as to where the rad thermoswitch is because i will have a crack at this myself.. i know roughly where everything goes, and will comence soon... just wanna know if i got the right stuff and where the thermoswitch is.

 

 

 

Well the fan switch for an Iveco 49-10 is in the water pump/thermostat housing, a 405 diesel has it's fan switch in the radiator, a Corsa's is in the radiator. An Escort 1.8D is in the thermostat housing.....

Without knowing the details about the vehicle, it's a little hard to help you.

 

Sorry!

Escort Rs turbo series 2. 90 spec e reg

Its a convertion. Into a Mk5 so its hard to find stuff within the engine bay!

 

On a series 2 it's in the thermostat housing under the top radiator hose. On a Mk 5 it is in the passenger side of the rad on SOME models and in the thermostat on other models.

 

its all the rs turbo engine, and running gear, no mk5 internals left, thanks so much for your help!!! i will go see!!!

Is there a live and a neg then on that?

 

Ive just checked ... theres nothing there, just hoses.

Theres a live and neg coming of the fan.. thats all!

 

You could still use the MK5 switch in the rad as the cooling fan has nothing to do with the engine and running gear apart from it's triggered by the coolant to cool the coolant.

I can't remember what the S2 fan switch switches but from experience, it usually switches earth on and off but it is possible it could be switching positive current. This doesn't matter 1 bit if you are going to rewire it as per diagram above...

 

but as per diagram, i need to find the rad switch, inwhich i cant.....

 

Is it not in the thermostat housing where I said?

 

If it helps at all on my 1990 S2 it switches +12v, I've just had to replace mine and it is below and just to the right of the top hose.

 

ive just been to have a look.

On the temperature sensor on the main block, a brown wire comes from that into alot of wires, taped up in black tape.... at somepoint in the wires, 2 brown wires come out and go to this clip type thing, waiting for the other side of the connection block in theory, but its just dangling.... I know there the same wire, or at least i think they are because the temp sensor is brown with a white stripe, and the connection block dangling has 2 wires going in, 1 brown, and 1 brown with white stripe.... is this what im looking for?

 

I can't remember off the top of my head what colours the wires are and I'm not at home so I can't check, but if it's the connector on the block just below the top hose then thats the one.

 

That is one QUALITY diagram, where did you get that???????

 

FROM YOU!!!

Im stuck tho

 

You don't want the coolant temp sensor or the temp sender unit. The coolant temp sensor is at the back of the engine on the inlet manifold. The temp sender unit is next to number 4 exhaust port. The fan switch is directly below the top radiator hose in the thermostat housing and has 2 male spade terminals on it.

What are you stuck on?

 

That, it doesnt appear to be there on mine... i cant find it.

 

Well there must be something in the stat housing as all the water would be pissing out! It's not that small as far as sensors go either...

It's about 27mm spanner size.

 

i understand where you mean now... thanks alot!!

there is one wire, one brown wire going to the stat on the block, do i just trace it back untill i find a live and earth .. only its 1 wire going to stat? do you get me? or do i just wire it up cutting up to that!

 

If you are rewiring your fans as per Tiff's diagram then you don't need any of the wiring.

 

yeh ok...... but were back to square one now... wheres the rad switch?
