Hey guys, I need your help. so I can try and sort my problems today, with your help of course.

So, the car was standing in the garage for 2 months, I started it up, and everything seems to be OK except for one MAIN thing.
The fan isn't kicking in at all, I replaced the fan switch, and tried to put wires in connector and then fan kicks in. So new fan switch, but it's not kicking in. What do think should I look at now?
Is there maybe air in the system, or maybe faulty termostat? The fuse is OK.

And the other problem is ventilation. It seems to work, than stops, then comes back again, than stops. Now it's not working. Checked the fuses and they are all good?

Thanks guys, please help, so I can work on the car today. :)

The ventilation problem will most likely be the resistor on the blower unit itself

As for the fan switch thing I reckon it must be a faulty relay, which relay & where it is though I have no idea :lol:

Does anyone know which relays should I look for?

If the fan clicks in when u short it at the connector you need another thermostat in your radiator.
