ok so my fans not coming on when it should, i connected the fan straight to the battery and its worked

ive bridged the 2 wires on the radiator sensor but its still not coming on

ive plugged the brown/white into the fan then ran a power cable to it from the battery but its still not coming on

dodgy earth?

i tried using my own earth and using the original power feed and bridging the 2 sensor wires together and still nothing

any ideas

as in you need the key on to power it up..

it is fed from the ign switch, to the fuse, then the motor, then finally the rad switch, and on to the earth. so is there actual voltage going to the fuse? it is right next to the one that powers the heater blower motor, and if that is working, then so should the rad fan circuit.

ok so checked it and its the fuse is getting power when the ignition is switched on

the earth is fine on the radiator plug ive checked that

but still when i join the 2 radiator switch wires together i get nothing, no voltage through the feed for the fan :(

either the fuse or fuse holder is shot, or the wire from it is broken
