Title: Possible Electrics Failure - No Heat.
Post by macmilm on Mar 8^th, 2005, 12:12pm

Hi all,

Had a Scorpio around 9 months now.
Got a 1998 2.3 16V Manual Ultima.

Basically what is happening is the engine fan is coming on constantly. Its a little Random sometimes the second the engine starts other times it will wait till the engine warms up a bit but either way once it comes on it stays on and the end results is I get no heat in the car. It is absolutely freezing. >:(

Also the Cruise control sometimes takes a few attempts to turn on which made me wonder of a possible electrics prob.

I read somewhere that the Fan is supposed to be variable speed. On mine it is on FULL... sounds like a hovercraft.

Tried finding a fan heat sensor but no joy. Is this computer controlled ???

Thanks for any help....

Matt

P.S

Looks like my Cylinder Head/Gasket is going as I am getting Oil in my water e.t.c ! Could that be the cause due to loss of pressure e.t.c ?? Forgive my noddy questions but still a novice at this sort of thing. Was hoping to keep this car as a sort of project to maintain myself but now wondering.

Any help and advice will be much appreciated.
