have u checked the relay ?
there are 2 iirc in the fuse holder if u turn the fuse holder cap upside down u should see a diagram telling you what relay's and fuses are what bit hard to explain how to check relay's best bet is go get 2 new ones should be about $20

As Disco frank has said, if the two 40amp fuses are ok...
Check the relays??? There are three of these!!! Two 4 blade 40amp relays white in colour & one 5 blade 40amp green relay. |

Might be a long shot - isn't there some sort of temperature sensor that kicks them in when the engine gets to a predetermined heat? Any chance it could be that sensor if its not the relays or fuses?

Hi all,
took car to auto spark and he is stumped.......can't resolve problem - still not working. I was thinking, can I just hardwire the thermo fans to the battery and let them run when ever the car is operating, even rig a toggle switch back to the cabin. I don't see why this would be a problem. My main question is do these thermo fans for au2 run at different speeds or on/off. I think the hardwire option is the best way - cost enuff already......:(

[QUOTE=illusivedreams]Hi and low function fans run in series.
QUOTE] Quoting myself. They are a 2 speed high and low  : Again run in series. Fom what I can understand you can loose low speed and high still works.So check that you have both/// Im not sure how its wired. Alternatively come to the wreckers and give the $20 and borrow the fans for 5 minutes there are only to bolts holding the fans in place and bottom slotts in. See what happens you might be lucky./

R u blowing fuses for the fans... check fuses again!!!
Then.... Check with a multimeter or aligator clips with a globe at the plug before the thermos. That way you can check for current when the low speed thermos r suppose to kicks in... just above operating temperature, between n/o on temperature gauge. When the a/c is turned on, the thermos should come on straight away. |
