rad fans not turning on
« on: April 15, 2010, 07:00:18 pm »
Hi i have a problem my rad fans wont turn on at first i though it was the ecu because of there were other sensors not working working
and the old one was beyond repair so i bough a new one it fix most of my problems so although it didn't fix my rad fans it still was varry useful in replacing it
ive replaced the fan and senors and thermostat on the thermistor housing any thoughts

all good suggestions and should be done.

As well, run power and ground to the fans themselves and make sure they actually work  :)

and, please, if you can use sentences, punctuation and capitals, it would make it much easier for the people trying to help you.  :)
