Hi Guys,
Currently working though an issue with the radiator fan on the car mentioned above. Firstly, we noticed the car overheating ONLY when sitting idle for around 5 or so min with the AC on, then the AC getting warm Had a look today and noticed the Radiator Fan not spinning at all on a 33 degree Canberra summer. Got a multimeter to the plug and no power. Checked Engine Bay fuse box and the 40A Cartridge Fuse was blown. Replaced it with another 40A Fuse. Took the car for a drive 'Great the AC is working properly' however upon letting it idle at home, my partner could smell something burning. Checked the Engine Bay, and behold the smell was there, mainly towards the fuse box side of things. Turned the car off and check the cabling underneath and the cabling was well hot to the touch, alot more than expected. Unplugged the fan and let the car sit for 30 or so minutes to get rid of the smell. Fired the car up and no smells where observant. Now apart from the above, what would you say the issue relates to? Replacing the Radiator Fan? Stuffed Cabling/Plug? Any help would be appreciated. |
