location of radiator fan relay

[niggy0]

can anybody tell me which of the fuses or relays under the bonnet are for the heater/ radiator fan on a 95N reg 2.5 V6 calibra

[niggy0]

is there such a thing?

[Cheater2k]

either in the fuse box by the steering wheel, or the one under the bonnet up on the right hand side.

Have your checked the fan switch on the rad on the bottom left though?

[niggy0]

Yeah, have replaced that with a new one....
Have found those relays, but have not got a clue as to which one it would be...
any ideas?

I don't think it would be any one of the relays under the bonnett. THey are normally big mother fuses for the main electrics.

I think it may be BEHIND the fuse box. If you pull the fuse box out you will see a raw of fuses mounted in the hole behind the fuse box.

It maube one of those. Sorry can't be anymore of help

Cheers

If it's the main radiator fan that's not working, the switch is on the engine, on the coolent bridge between the heads, it forms the front bolt for the coolent bridge see below :-




unplug the connector for it and link the plug with a piece of wire - if the fan runs the switch is dead, simple [img]/wink.gif[/img]

yeah that's how i have it set up if i need to use the car,
cheers will check that one out

i have an 8-valve, but the coolant temp sensor and the fan relay are different things. the fan relay is in the radiator and switches the big fan on. its actually mounted on the radiator, facing the engine. i presume its on the driver's side. then again, i might be wrong, but for keepin it simple, most cars are like this. the fan control doesnt want the ecu involved, so we have this relay. thats why if its REALLY hot the fan will work after switching ignition off and locking your car, until the temperature lowers under 97 (i think).

i would love to post a picture, but its dark outside and my car is filthy. i'd rather not embarass my self

If you mean the switch that Screws into the bottom side of the Radiator , this has been exchanged for a new part. - But the fan still would not kick in even at 105C, leading me to believe that there must be another switch...

If you short the connector that goes to this sensor and the fan runs so you can use the car, then it's that's the sensor that's faulty, they're £16 from autovaux, my Rad fan wouldn't run, changed that sensor - fine now.

If you really feel the need to hunt down the relays involved they are K52, K67, and K87 if you have aircon......
F34 and F42 might be worth looking at too.

hope this helps [img]/smile.gif[/img]
