    Aux Fan Not Working

    My auxilary fan doesn't seem to be working. I've checked the fuses according to BEN, but I don't know.

    There's isn't a specific way to put a fuse in the fuse box is there?

    Any ideas?

    There is only one way to put in a fuse. No clue on teh fan specifically but I would bet it's thermostat is dead if its not working.

    I used to live in No. Ho. first on Elmer & Victory then near Magnolia & Cahuenga. (damned if I can't remember the name of the street but it deadended into Magnolia into a little mall with the Magnolia Cafe & a dog grooming shop). Had an A in the name.

        Theres a little senor that turns the fan on and off, depending on engine temp and other stats, but heres a pic with it outlined.

          I changed the thermostat about a year ago. I've had the car a little over that, but I can't recall it ever working.

          What's that radiator switched called?

            well u guess right, its a fan switch ;) the correct description is as follows: "Radiator Fan Switch - 3 Prong - 80/88 degree " Part#:61 31 8 361 787 and it will run you a massive amount of money @ +- $30

                    doesn't the aux fan only turn on when the temp is at the 3/4 mark?

                      ~1/2 mark with the A/C on, slightly above with it off.
