#1: Location of cooling fan switch... Author: GTI_89, Location: NewcastlePosted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:00 am ---- hey guys,
wondering if one of you can show me where the fan switch is on my car, its a 206 gti preplex.
basiclly the fan is not cutting in when the engine gets to hot and when the AC is turned on.
have checked all the fuses and they are ok, have unplugged and cleaned all conections that i can see going into or around the fan and it still wont work.
done abit digging on google and found that it could be the fan switch but i have no idea where it is !!
pics would be great guys,
thanks,
Karl.

i am not sure how to check nor do i think i have the equipment to check :/

Behind the front bumper there is a removable panel. This covers the relays and they can get a bit crusty.
You can see the panel to the left of the fan. Picture doesn't seem to be working...no idea why.

Thats the first thing you need to do. If you have no power to the fan then you know you have a wiring/relay problem.
If you do get power then its the fan.
Its pointless just changing sensors without diagnosing the problem properly.

#9: Re: Location of cooling fan switch... Author: GTI_89, Location: NewcastlePosted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:10 am ---- thanks mate
no time to do it now but will get it off soon, i thought about taking it off but seemed abit of a tight squeeze to get in there!
havnt got my SP grill in at the mo so i should manage, i just want to try everything i cn before i take it to an auto electriction!
if that doesnt work any other ideas at all??
#10: Re: Location of cooling fan switch... Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:12 am ---- Pretty safe bet it being corroded relay terminals - or a dead fan.
#11: Re: Location of cooling fan switch... Author: GTI_89, Location: NewcastlePosted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:36 am ---- ok mate.
will get that box off and get everything cleaned up and hopefully it will work from there
thanks for all your help guys
Karl.

is it a bumper off job to get into them or can it be done with the bumper on?
#13: Re: Location of cooling fan switch... Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:57 am ---- Just take the upper grille off. That will get enough access to get to the mushroom plugs.
