Temp Guage + Fan

[Bubba]

Will my fan kick in if the temp guage on the dash aint working, i think the wires have come loose and i cant get my hands behind the clocks to find out

[General Baxter]

what engine ?

[Bubba]

1.3 8v (carb'd)

£20 the spades fell off in the bay lol,

under the frying pan, on the drivers side, on the manifold on the top, thats the sensor there should be a spade with a thickish blue wire on :)

[Bubba]

im pretty sure its the dash coz it keeps poping out and the guage starting getting all jumpy over bumps, would lose signal, then get it again

[mowgli]

well shove the dash back in then...

but the rad cooling fan runs on a completely different circuit to the gauge, so you won't overheat because of the gauge

[Bubba]

its the clocks that pop out, because the clips are broken and its quite annoying because the clocks pop out whenever i go over any small bumps. bit that was all i needed to know because ive been worreid that it will overheat if i dont out the heaters on.

The gauge is nothing to do with it, the fan goes from the sensor acualy mounted on the side of the rad.

excellent, thats all i needed to know, should still sort it out at some point though
