the radfan should only kick in on a hot day stuck in traffic eh, and is switched on by the ecu (mine switches on if i short the 2 sensor wires)
and the engine should be getting 1/2 hot (else there,s a thermostat or guage or sender or pipe problem)

Just wondering you say youve checked the fuses...what about the relays? theres two for the fan...id unclip them and have a closer look, just incase youve got moisture / corrosion going on or the relays died. Though tbh mine takes awhile before the fan kicks in, and mine gets pretty damn warm too...so id suspect you'll have no probs.

 

[micras69]

i'll have a look kris didnt think of them, tis always the same when you have tryed so many things and you seem to over look something small and simple eh

 

[solarice]

tell me about it...
