    Auxiliary Fan?

    Why won't my auxiliary fan work? Fuse isn't blown, it's hooked up by the driver side headlight, the radiator sensor is plugged in. Any suggestions on testing or finding a solution?

      i'm think the motor might have kicked the bucket...sucks for both of us

        Could be resistor on the front-buttom of the fan. If you look at the lower part of the fan through cut-outs under the bumper, you will see a resistor. If that resistor goes, the fan will not work.

          push the blue A/C button, see if it comes on, if doesn't than it's your motor

          oh year, resistor is common too

            Most likely its the resistor. Easy way to check is to jump pins 1 and 3 on the radiator temp switch on the pass. side. That should kick the fan on "high" speed. Then you know its the resistor. I have the same problem on mine. ;)

                Usually that resistor. Which reminds me, I need to pull my fan out now that I'm done with the fan conversion...
