Hi, 94 Chim 4.0,water temp gauge reading high.Fans not appearing to cut in. Have the 2 25amp fuses for fan 1/2 and they are ok. Have tried shorting out switch on swirl tank to no avail.Any suggestions?

Bad earth ?

sounds like time to get a meter (or at least a test lamp) and find out where you have or don't have power.

You sure you're shorting out the right otter switch? Mine is on the rad.

Check the fan connections (x2) at the radiator, they are relatively exposed and can corrode.

They are on the rad on later ones, earlier are on the swirl pot

Thanks guys, fans are now running continuously with shorted otter sw on swirl tank.Reading the bible , it seems I might need another Otter sw, perhaps lower temp cut in. Any suggestions for source part numbers? Ted
