i cant get ahead this week. pulled wifes car around to check oil and noticed radiator fan was not running with ac on, just pulsing.
got around to it today after cautioning her to watch temp religiously and found it not running at all.
followed the advice in the really excellent troubleshooting guide and this is what i found.
fuses all good.
fans are good. they run beautifully together high and low speed with power straight to them.
12v is present on pin 2 of the thermocouple on radiator. you can jump the pins either way and nothing.
according to this ...bad wiring if i am reading the guide correctly
my bentley was borrowed and ruined by a friend (former) who left it in the rain on the hood of his car. been meaning to replace it but have not done it yet.
can anyone post the diagram. the guide in the sticky has a link to click but looks like the picture is dead.
any advice obviously appreciated, i am working 6 straight this week and if anyone finds it in their heart to give advice i greatly appreciate it.
i am going to be driving her car so i can watch temps. so far it is great in motion at 195 or so but does roll up to about 205 at stops.havent stayed long to test whether it will get hotter.
ac works great in motion even passably at brief stops but i have been shutting it off so i dont stress it till fan is fixed.
no fan with ac on key on/ or ac on engine on
thanks for any tips. if any one has the wiring diagram for the step described that failed i will greatly appreciate it.
