Title: A/C and fan

Both fans should run together....slow when getting a little too warm & fast when aircon is switched on to cool the condensor through the rad ;)
Could be the same problem as I had with my right hand fan recently, in that it wouldn't come on unless I touched the connector. Wasn't the plug at fault though, it was the fan connection that was wiggly & loosing the connection.

So did I replace the fan ?...nope...... Me being a skinflint & an Essex bodger to boot ::)....a bit of Plastic Padding Chemical Metal (that was lying about in the shed) applied around the fan connector to stop it wiggling about & hold it tight....& the problem was fixed :D

I did take the fan out to see if it could be taken apart & any solder joints be re-soldered, but it seems to be a sealed unit :)

hi there

also check the connections at the big green relay.

your 1 fan is running fast because it's getting 12v instead of the 12v between the 2 (ie 6v each).

There’s a document about the operation of the fans here:

Sorted ;D dirty connections both on the power in lead and the green relay, works a treat. Thanks all for advice
