Fan Silver Resistor. Help Needed

[Jules]

Grey to Neg will test the resistor.
99% chance it's duff and motor won't turn!

To bypass the resistor to test motor directly, connect Red from relay contact to Neg and motor red to Pos
Motor should run but it looks very rusty!

2 speed Control box may be ok but transfer the thin wires and plugs from your 3 speed box


The 2 cut thick black wires need to go to thick black (neg) at plug end.
Thick brown from motor should go to thick brown at plug end.

Above will be quicker than converting your 3 speed box to a 2 speed.

The brown is right if you connect a to - that will be low speed if resistor works, If you connect b to - that will be high speed. Has previously said be careful and make sure fan is held firm and not obstucted they do have quite a kick. Derek

Hi Jules
Thank you for that i will be sending you the money over for a gold resistor asap or my daughter will as she as a paypal account i dont could you PM the link and or the price please cheers Arctic.

Cheers Derek
for the the diagram colours on the photo i truly believe that pics show and help a lot more than just words that is why if i do anything i always take pics i must have 85% of my car now one way or another. i will of casue be taking photos of the replacment of fan while it is being done. Arctic.

Artic? Why not have a drive up to see Jules? It's about 2 hours each way from your place and a lovely day out...

Also, if anything proves faulty Jules will have spares on hand..

Hi
thanks to jules/swinnie, and a few other members if i mention all i will be here forever, but thank you all most appreciated. i managed to test the two speed fan i purchased to replace the one on the car at the moment.

This is my little set up i made to test it in safety so not to damage the fan or me,


After this i decided to make a few videos of the test enjoy and have a good laff.

The fan game resumes after setting up my makeshift templet for the fan, which is now bolted to it for safely, i made a few videos testing with resitor connected, and also by passing the resistor which i was advised would most certainly be goosed, take a look please excuse the narrator :em: :lol: :lol: after all he is a total amature :gmc:

My second atempt

My third go at presenting by this time i gave up because i could not keep a straight face :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll: my misses was in stitches and said i seriously need help and not only with the fan. :lol: :lol: but at least the fan works and i now only need to get a gold resistor which is enroute from Jules :hail: then all i have to do is work out which wires go where, then fit it to the car,

Interesting to watch, but wouldn't it have been a bit easier just to put an ohm meter across the resistor? I think it should read 1 ohm or so if it's OK

ohm what is that plus i wanted to see it working also it had to be cleaned all over ready to fit once the gold resistor arrives, chap in my local car spares store says i have to much time on my hands and should start my own site up ihavetomuchtimeonmyhands.com

Arctic, been reading your threads with interest. Good for you for having a go when by your own admission you are no pro. I always give things a go and if I do it happy days, if not then I've lost nothing except time......hope you get it resolved. I've just ordered a gold resistor of Jules too as I finally got my leaky air con pipe welded and the system refilled then noticed that my low speed isn't working. I'm a bit luckier than you though as I have the 2 speed fan system so hopefully just a new resistor to sort it.

Good luck
Graham

Hi
Thank you Jules the resistor arrived today so i will be fitting it over the next few days then i will / maybe have ago at fitting the fan i just have to make sure i am confident that i understand how the wires will need joining, as i have to transfer my loom to the 2 speed control box i think



Happy fan days for me soon i hope
