aux fan probs

[edwinelisia]

my aux fan doesnt work at all
check the relay = ok
check fuse = ok
try to bypass to both low and high speed = aux fan doesnt work at all

can the resistor gone bad?

[Chris325/325i]

If the resistor is bad it will still run on high speed. Are you getting 12V to the fan ? If so the fan itself may be dead.

yeah checked it the middle wire to the ground and its 11.99 to be exact

Digging up another oldie here, I am having a problem with my car running a tad hot at idle, and then running normal at speed. I know that my aux fan is not turning on when the car is running and pressing the ac switch does not engage the fan either (although my ac is completley out of freon if that matters) but the wierd thing is it runs when the key is turned halfway and then shuts off after the car starts. This isint normal right? Advice is appreciated.

all i know is i discharged my freon when i did the engine swap that wouldn't change engine temp and if your aux fan is turning off isn't that a relay? im not sure its my 19 bday so im not verry coherent so yeah this wouldn't i duno ill read this tomorro wi guess.
