xrdt - track day fun on a Budget

1st off I checked the relays themselves are working. There are some good guides via google. Once you know relays are switching check the contacts on the connector down beside the rad.
If all ok then I used a crimp connector to bridge sockets 1 & 3 on the fan switch. This would cause your fans to come on if all ok, so a good way of checking them.

Still no go on my fans but with the switch now shorted I could check the voltages on the back of the relay box. Haynes manual was massivley helpful with this.

What I did find was little to no voltage at pins 3-4-5. These are where the relay is switched. By taking a 12v live from the battery I was able to replicate the switching wire carrying a voltage and the fans came on.

All reqd then was to run a fused live and soldwr it to the switching wire that operated the relay/fans.

Wire colour and numbers change depending on time of manufacture so best thing is to use a haynes and compare yout loom to the wiring diagram to confirm which is yours.

Take care with wiring though mate - nasty fires are the last thing anyone wants!

Hope this helps?
