  • Thermo fan NOT WORKING

    my thermo fans not working and im at a loss as to why, because it worked just fine before i did the engine swap.

    any ideas? i've checked out 2 fans, bipassed the radiator switch to hard wire it and both dont work, maybe a fuse?

    cheers

      They are the most simply wired thing on the mk1s.
      Power to fan and negative switching through the thermo switch!!

            If there's no power check your fuses, mine was wired to the one on the far right.

                if its not a fuse, check your plugs in the back the fuses
                that was the cause of mine not working

                    Doing an engine swap is more than enough of a reason to stop things working!!!

                    I'm sure there's just no power at the connector, as others have said. Pull a supply voltage straight off the battery and see what happens

                      i know, everything could be working juusssttt fine before the swap and as soon as you wack the other one in.... BAM problems everywhere.

                      cheers Stu, will do that after checking the fuse
