cdti cooling fan
hi to all
the cooling fan on my rover 75 only comes on high speed and it has the silver resistor fitted how can i test the resistor to see if it is faulty and would replacing it with a gold resistor solve the fault david |

With ignition on or engine running, press the windscreen demist button on your air con./heater control panel. Now walk to the radiator grille to see if your fan is running.

hi to all
i tested the fan using a t4 there was no low speed only high is the resistor at fault and would replacing the resistor to a gold resistor sort it out and low speed would return david |

PS make sure that the tails on the resistor have a good length of heat shrink on them, and use the original bracket to fix it to. 1 2 3

Jules is you're man for this. He supplies the resistor and the How-to.

hi to all
what if i replace the silver resistor for a gold resistor and it still does not work does that mean that the circuit board is at fault david |

It could be but i would worry about that once you have changed the resistor, as it could be the brushes have worn, very rare i have to say on a two wire two speed resistor system, then it could be one of the relays, and all that can be thought about once the resistor as been replaced. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=216734

hi to all
if it is not the resistor and it is not the relays then it has to be the circuit board is the circuit board available david |

hi to all
i have a fan assembly and there is only high speed now it has a silver resistor now i want to know if i change the resistor and it still does not work i then change the relays which are available and it still does not work is the circuit board available if the circuit board is not available then it would be better to look for another working fan david |
