1.8 - Cooling fan inoperative?
I've had a search and a read but if someone could just confirm my thoughts please.
2000 car so 3 speed fan (no resistor evident). Fan does not kick in when demist button pressed (it has for the last 6 years upto now). I've checked fuse 4 (80A) which looks fine. I removed the Trinary switch plug and shorted out the wires furthest apart (yellow and grey?). Nothing happens whether demist switched on or not and with engine running or not (ignition on). When replacing the plug the compressor can be heard kicking in. So, am I to believe my fan motor has failed? Is the only fix replacement (ie Jule's 2 speed fan kit?) I use the M6 everyday which at these low temps is fine but traffic jams are regular so not ideal to have inoperative fan especially in a 1.8. Steve.
