Howdo folks.
With this unusual and beautiful weather we have been having i have noticed more that the fan on my car isnt working. I have replaced the thermostat but still hasnt solved the problem. I have read that the connections at the bottom of the rad on the front behind the grill become corroded and need repairing?? Any tips or advice for doing this???
I also have a little idle issue when the car gets warm, when the temp needle strays past 90-100 the idle begins to jump and on the odd occasion cut out. But it then starts fine on the turn of the key??
Could this e a related issue as the ecu is trying to tell the fan to
Cum on but isnt and is drawing power from the car??
If not does the idle control valve just need cleaning as it doesnt happen all the time just every now and then when warm??
Cheers
Dave

Short of people coming to fix your car all the advice you need will on the forum topics. Just take the relays out, clean the terminals and make sure the wiring is still connected to the terminals in the relay. If you have a multimeter it can help.
It looks like this below so it's down to you.
