How do!
So i was having a route around under the bonnet yesterday and found this?
up on the drivers side next to the bonnet hinge..

Does anyone know what this could be?

looks like a faulty pin but what is the connector for?

That plug is for the wiper motor, haven't seen any with damaged wiring though!

Just looks like they have bypassed the connector. Should be fine. The correct fixx would be buy a new connector and solder in but that should be ok.

ahh cool cheers guys! neither of you happen to know the best method of testing my cooling fans are? having a browse around the forum i found something to do with bridging pins 1&3 on a Blue connector in the drivers wing but i can't find a blue connector?

That's because its a brown connector.

You can however, unplug the blue coolant temp sensor on the stat housing which will make the fans run permanently.

I usually start testing them by running engine up to temp. Chexk stats open. (hold top hose untill warm) keep an eye on temprature then the fans should kick in. If not bridge the pins to see if fans work. If they do its your temp sensor on rad. About 10 quid

Theres no temp sensor on the rad if its a HDi... It's the blue one on the stat housing, unplugging it will bring them on instantly as a fail safe. The brown plug that you can bridge to turn into the AC button fan switch is on the AC pressure sensor by the screenwash filler neck.

Brilliant cheers guys!, ive started browsing on the forum every day now! becoming a habit i just need the time to get on with my HDI! soon coming is a rear axle...

Welcome to OC!! I too have that problem, along with most other members...

Yup, thats where it all starts! One little problem, then you realise how helpful this place can be, THEN you realise that we're a forum full of the most diverse people going, and that we're all awesome in our own little ways.

Oh, and welcome along anyway.

As a bit of a thread hijack, I'm pretty sure the fans on my estate are fubared, tried the AC switch mod and it didnt do anything, forgot to try the temp sensor, and the relays LOOK fine, any other suggestions to get the stupid things working?

Agree'd, OC take over your life eventually!

Also, Steve, you could remove the round fan plug on the NS chassis leg and check if its green and shitty inside lol.

Didnt realise it was a hdi sorry.

I got sucked into this place pretty quick although I work in the trade. Guys n gals are great friendly people on the whole.

Good shout Tom, ill have a look at that in a bit. Cba to do anything right at this precise moment, having a few quiet minutes to myself after dropping the kids home.

I just quickly whipped the air intake pipe off to get to the temp sensor connector, took it off and they ran perfectly. Even with the slight buckle in them from an argument with a bush it seems to have had in its past.

The confusing thing with it is that i was rambling around snowdonia in it the other day on a little drive out with the work lot and it hit 110C said stop but no sign of the fans kicking in, is it more likely to be the stat or the sensor?

Again a brilliant forum!
A second welcome! Wow!

Personally I'd do both while you're there and gonna lose some coolant, but it seems like the sensor at fault.

Ey, well, i can't remember if I welcomed you first time round, so I've done it again to be on the safe side.
