Default Fan problems disgnosis

Hi,

I've just purchased a 51 plate 180 ZT+. According to the build data kindly supplied by Reebs, the car is apparently the first ZT 180 Sports Auto to be assembled. The car is great however there are a couple of things which I need to sort out though, the first of which is the cooling fan.

It would appear that my cooling fan doesn't work - at all! I have done the following tests but want to double check I've done all the diagnosis I can before buying a replacement fan.

I have:
  • Put the Air Con on to demist - no movement of the fan
  • Bridged the two terminals on the air conditioning trinary switch - still nothing
  • Checked the 15amp fuse at position 4 in the engine fusebox - it's fine

Is there anything else which could be preventing the fan from working - or is it definitely replacement fan time? Are there any more fuses or relays I should be checking?
I believe that I have the older 2 speed fan which doesn't have a resistor visible when looking through the grill.

Any advice gratefully received

Tom
