rich 40 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 thanks Pete,I'm not all that good with electrics so cheers for that,my fans are not coming on so I gota feeling I'm gonna get headaches from this!!!.but least I know what sensor is which so I can check through them,but I guess that's what happens with owning 21 odd year old car,things corrode and wear outhoping its just the thermo switch kaput!!

rich 40 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 hmm,knew it was gunna cause headache ..took thermo sensor plug of and with ignition on bridged it and...nothing..checked fans direct and all ok,so either multi plug sensor gone,or am I right in saying that it has a fan controller box somewhere??if so where to is it...ive wired them to a switch inside for time being as I cant risk it cooking,think it may be best in long run as u get better control but would like to know if it is a fault with box/sensor/plug!!

There is a FCM, its the box under the coolant header tank - check fuses to begin with. Link to post Share on other sites
rich 40 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 yep,checked already pete,one 20 amp was ok,the other was 5 amp and was blown..changed it and still the same,,it clicks when i put live to the fans and they work then,but still no closer to finding out whats wrong..could it be dodgy sensor in thermostat housing??
