I have a 2003 Golf that is overheating at highway speeds after it gets up to temp. I can pull the gauge back down if we run the heat to dump heat away from the engine.
I pulled the thermo-switch off today and jumped between pin 1 & 2 and the small fan (passenger side) kicked on but the large fan (drivers' side) did not. I turned the key to "on" and tested the voltage out of the pin tied to the red wire, and it's bobbing around in the -0.5 to -3V range. Thoughts?
I'm following this document (http://pics.tdiclub.com/data/516/A4_Coolant_Fan_testing_Rev_7.pdf)
I should also mention I have checked all the corresponding fuses to the fans/cooling system, and everything looks perfectly fine.
