Which cooling fan works first??
Posted: Sat Feb 21, 2015 8:18 pm
I removed aircon bits on my sport today as its never worked even after been regassed,
So condensors gone including cooling fan riveted to it and pipework under bonnet, just compressor to do under bonnet when i get a shorter belt (already got non aircon engine mount),
Just wondering which cooling fan should kick in first as never really taken much notice, after taking it for a drive after i removed aircon i left it idling and temp gauge got just over 100'c and fan didn't kick in, usually temp gauge drops again when it reachs 100'c but never notice which fan has been kicking in and actually cooling engine,
I left both sensors on rad plugged in,
I unplugged rad fan and there is no 12v live to fan with the ignition on,
Im guessing there should be and it will be earth switched through temp sensor on rad or am i just taking rubbish??
