So I have only just had a car wash, waiting outside I noticed steam from the engine thinking it was from the pressure hose, noticeably got worse looked inside and the coolant temp was on red limit! Now I am waiting for the AA im worried the engine won't start...??  it probably was on the red for a good few minutes until steam starting forming. Could anything be damaged? There is a puddle ontop the engine

why you leave your engine idle anyway? straightly speaking 5-10 mins idle without fan on shouldn't cause overheat.

Hmm it still is overheating, aircon is not giving cool air and the fan won't turn.
Checking the fan relays.

There is a lot of corrosion on the fan relays and wiring, maybe enough water got in there to stop the unit working. There are two relays, anyone know if one is aircon?

After checking the relays:

Looks like I must also get a new fan wiring harness as the sockets and wiring look corroded. Anyone know the part names please?

I've got some stashed away somewhere in my stock of Peugeot parts, if I ever get bored one day ill take one apart
The pin out on the terminals will show if its just a normal 5 pin relay.

Yes they are, and no protection diodes on the coil either. (plain SPDT 12V)
Trouble if you clean them is because the top nickel-plating is gone, the copper will just oxidize green again in
no-time. I always bin those triumphantly and use silicon grease spray for future protection on the contacts.

The wiring terminals will be corroded too and might have even corroded right through enough to break the wires.
Ideally it needs the bumper taking off and a thorough clean up /repair making.

When you turn air con on you hear "click" noise, if this is from the relay then relays are OKAY?
