Hello, Can someone tell me where the control box resides for the engine cooling fans? I have one of the modified chips to install but can't find it in the boot or anywhere obvious. Also can see it mentioned on the wiring diagrams.

Regards

Have you a cooling chip?
Then that is a replacement for the engine ecu chip.
If so then you need to ensure that the chip is right for your engine ie is for a 4.2 or 4.5 or S6, red rose, short induction....
The ECU chip is in the passenger footwell behind the carpet trim, big silver box, unscrew and remove lid, remove chip and carefully put new one in (being careful not to damage pins).

Cheers Gazzab, I was not aware that the chip was the one in the ECU box. Thought is was a separate unit somewhere. Explains why I could not find it. Now I'm stuffed as I've had this chip for a while but never got round to fitting it. I don't know what style of cerb it came off and on top of that mine has short induction and tuned for it. Just typical!

Speak with raceproved. Joolz is there - he can use an eprom reader to copy your chip and add the cooling mod. Jobs a good 'un.
