Best way to bypass the resistor is to get some wire with a couple of spade terminals attached and plug those into the connector instead of the resistor. Or just get a multimeter on the resistor and see if the resistance is sky high.

Send a direct feed to the battery first to see if the fan actually works. They tend to be reliable. Or if you understand how relays work you can trigger the relay with a -ve feed.

If you are keeping the air con, then you need to fix this first. The twin speed/twin relay system relies on the ECU putting out the correct signal - so no air con and it will confuse everything.

All of my air con has been removed and I have replaced the whole fan circuit with separate parts now - had enough. Wanted the fan to cut it sooner anyway. Not good to have 100 deg+ on a track...

Bypass the resistor permanently and it will only run at high speed - no need for fancy solutions.

No!
Wire in and out of the resistor connector! Simple as that.

Not Edward, but...

If your fan turns on the slow setting, it means there is a feed to the resistor, but the current to the fan has to go through the resistor, thus slowing the fan.

By putting a wire between the terminals on the resistor, you provide a path without resistance for the current, allowing the fan to run at full speed.
This is effectively the same as removing the resistor completely and tying the two wires going to it, together instead.

No need to run wires anywhere else!

If you are to bypass the resistor as mentioned, make sure you change the 20amp fuse to a stronger fuse, mine has a 50amp fuse, work done by an auto electrician.

Might also want to beef up the wiring if running it bypassing the resistor permanently. It will need to match the high speed fan wiring.

Ye but now i have took the plug off the temp sensor and the fan doesn't kick in does that mean even bypassing the resistor it will still not work. And is it fuse no1 maxi fuse that u have to change to 50 amp fuse if u bypass the resistor thanks lads because I have tested the live wires in the back of the fan and they have power goin to them so I thinking fan kaput ? What u guys thinking

If u get a fan from scrappy they should be a working resistor in there aswell just a chew fitting it all
