fan problems

[FATBOY]

the fan wont cut in when the car is idling, just overheats right the way up till the light comes on. but fan will cut in if i turn the engine off? is the fan switch knackered?? if so how much and whats the part number?

Check the wiring to the switch, they tend to corrode and snap.

I replaced the plug on mine, as I had exactly the same problem for a short time. I just cut the original wire back to good clean copper and clamped the new wire and plug to it and plugged it back into the rad switch.

Go get one from a scrappy and ensure you cut off a good length of wire from the donor ca.

clean the connector off with electrical cleaner

[MatBrown]

Do what Wobba said, get a different plug with some good wire, cut and solder, insulate, job done.

Quote possibly but would be from a different part of the loom.
Fitment is the same just wires would be a different colour.
