Cooling fans

[OutlawFlat4]

Hi all

My 4.2 has had the cooling mod and the fans kick in around 75, or so I thought, but actually when checking only the drivers on kicks in. I tried to get the car up to a higher temp (car was on axles stands trying to fix exhaust rattles) but it wouldn't go much higher before I had to put it back in the garage.

Would the other rad (which looks like it has bigger fins) kick in at a higher temp or is something broken?

If it is broken, what is the first thing I should look for?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks all, will check the connectors and go from there.....

So I have finally got around to changing the dead fan on the cerb and after removing the airbox and F1 panel, I stupidly assumed that removing the 2x bolts on the top of the fan cowling would allow me to pull the fan out, but it seems not.

Do I really have to drain down the system and remove the rad to replace the fan, or is there sneaky way to remove it that I don't know?

Great! I was trying to remove the fan with it still on the cowling. Will go and have a crack at taking the fan off the cowling.

Thanks!
