Force Fans On?

[ukkid35]

How can you force the rad fans on? Does disconnecting the water temp sensor work, or shorting it, or something else I've forgotten?

Thanks

Because the op asked how to force the fans to come on?

Fans failed recently, just need to find the cause, rectify, and confirm they work without running car to temp.

Fuses and Relays seem ok. Other than wiring (which I will check next) what other causes do I need to consider?

For anyone who finds this thread it is worth knowing that although the standard ECU Map will force the fans on with just the ignition on, if you have a remap you may need to have the engine running (hot start power saving feature).
