Right, some of you remember me posting up a couple of days ago about my Radiator fan switch not working.
That has now been replaced with another which works but is now causing a peculiar problem.

I've touched nothing else but this sensor so it has to be to do with this.

The engine STOP light comes on faintly when the fan comes on.

At precisely 90degrees the fan comes on, the light wont go out until the fans switch off when the engine cools down.


Ideas? (Switch is a Red Ringed Blue switch).

I'd unplug the fan housing from the car and check the connections as I bet some are corroded Thumbs up

Coolant is fine, would this connection issue be the case when just a couple of days ago before i f**ked up the switch... the whole thing was working fine.

Welsh pug you were right, changed it for a one out of a DTurbo and she works fine. Fans come on just over 90 now which i'm happy with.
