HELP overheating cossy
Hey fellas my 2wd cossy is over heating it a g 89 its throwing out all the water iv changed the thermostat the fan switch iv pulled out the water pump had a look at it seems ok its turnin ok not broken seized or anything, Did try and bridge out the fan switch fans did NOT cut in tho ??? sent a direct feed to fans and they worked so im now thinkin it an electrical fault any help ?????
Firstly you cannot expect it NOT to overheat if hot enough for fans and they don't work.
Best thing to do is make up a little fan loom with relay, as the std ford affair is crap.
It will most likely be ok after this, if not after all you have done it may be dreaded HG time!!

It's quite simple really, just need a relay about £3, some wire red and green of 14/030 and 28/030 gauge(or similar), and a fuse holder.
Just a case of basic wiring from the relay to the fan switch and from the relay to the fans, then just a earth for fans and relay, put in fuse as close to battery as you can get.
The parts are easy to get from auto electrical places, or car shops(more expensive) or online/phone vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk
