I use the fans for cooling instead of the viscous fan and have a mod to do this.So back on this again. I intended to rig the air con fans infront if the radiator to be on all the time to see if this helped with over heating. Turns out the passenger side fan doesn’t work even when connected directly to the battery so I have got the other fan to come on with the ignition. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge with these fans? What they should do when they should come on etc?
Normally they only operate when called by the aircon, they can come on at half speed or full speed, details in RAVE.
If one fan is faulty, the half speed function will not work as in order to get half speed, they are connected in series, for full speed they are connected in parallel.
Not really a good idea to try and mask the overheating fault.
