Fan Switch problem Tue, 17 February 2004 23:24 Go to next message
Hi all, I've a little problem with my fan switch or thermostat or...no idea... my fan doesn't start then I plug off the fan switch cable and it starts as soon as the car starts. I tried to change another fan switch from a wrecked car which I'm not sure if it's in working other or not. How can I tell if both fan switch are dead? Should I other a new one from toyota or somewhere else? What other problem can it be?

Stop taking whatever it is you're smoking Very Happy and re-phrase the question. No one seems to have any idea what you are talking about. There are at least 3 fans in my car -- radiator low, radiator high, & aircon blower fan.

you know which one is the thermo switch for your fans right? Test its continuity between its terminal and the outer casing of the switch. If it reads nothing, it is dead.

Easy way to tell if your switch is dead.
Theres an over-ride, that when the switch is dead, the fans just run full-time.

sorry .. I'll try to say it again..

OK, I'm talking about a st162 and it has 2 fans, one for air con and one for radiator. the air con one works fine but the radiator one doesn't start. The fan itself should be OK as it run full-time if I plug the switch cable off. I suspect the fan switch is dead so I changed it with another one from a wrecked car but still not working.

The question is.. Is it the fan switch problem(luck me getting both car's switch dead)? or can it be somethine else? How do I test if the switch is dead? Hope I'm making more sence now.. Confused

V8_MA61: Thanks for the help, I'll try it tonight.
