of course . thats what im saying ron. if the older models were any different for a slow speed fan test using the "aircon button test" jules would have mentioned this. he has repaired and serviced enough of them.dont you think ?

i would be inclined to lean towards an intermittent fault being present on that particular car simon.rather than that particular case being a definitve conclusion of variations. as you are aware , these faults can be very evasive and will cover every aspect of the system,both from a mechanical point of view and electrical continuity or connection fault. a sticking trinary switch , bad connections on relays, etc etc , the list is not exhaustable. other members would im fairly sure,have noticed that the slow speed fan will not auto test with very low or zero a/c fluid by now, and would have been relieved at not renewing a failing rad fan. as i repeated in an earlier post , JULES would , if anyone would have known this to be a fact that on some models the slow speed fan cannot be tested with zero or low ac fluid being present. This does not seem to be the case. ..

Hi, not trying to confuse this thread but I have just purchased a 2000 75. Aircon was gassed and the garage advised pump not working so de-gassed. Checking the service record it appears the fault existed since 2009. Did some more investigation and tried a new relay with a re-gas. Bingo it all worked. Not saying the same will apply but the symptoms of fan working do seem to match.

For forum members referencing the post in the future I included a note in my post. I must say that I don't know the specifics of the fan wiring, nor do I know 100% sure that everything in that region is original (the car is missing its service/modification history), but I should add that I paid special care in following the fan test instructions on here. Hopefully more test data shows if my car was a one off or if it is a consistent phenomenon |
