Hi,

Not having much luck lately haha

The radiator cooling fan is not coming on nor is the aircon usually you would here the compressor click on but nothing, I have changed the temp sensor and the relay by the rad as I got error messages for high and low speed - car flashes temp warning if sat in traffic for too long, so it is deffiently not working - the bottom pipe to the rad gets hot but the top one stays cold?
The fan is not seized but can't test it more currently as my Diagbox cable also decided to die so currently waiting for a new one to be delivered.
Any ideas on what else it could be?
Once the cable arrives I will do more tests but curious if anyone else has had this or have any ideas on what could be wrong ?

Thanks in advance

On the fan there is relay, check that as well. Also check fuses

Hoping someone can help me as this is driving me crackers

Car has been parked up and life got in the way!

On Diagbox I can't activate the fan manually, it says there is a fault open circuit.
I have changed the resistor pack at the front as that had corroded, I have changed the radiator fan itself, i have changed the relay and the coolant temp sensor but still nothing - I have checked every fuse and no issues there.
I had a mobile mechanic come out and they said it was the resistor pack so changed that again and still nothing.

Have you got any ideas on what could be the issue?.

Thanks In advance
