this morning i discover the fans aren't working when I got caught in some traffic.

which fuse is responsible for these ?

can i force the fans on by shorting the wires that are connected to the temp sensor in the bottom of the ali rad tank ?

whats the chance of the heads warping - it got up to 120c before i stopped for a cool down.

Yes you can short the wires and doing so would rule out the fuses or not. The fuses on early Griff's were notorious for blowing but then again so are the temp sensors (otter) notorious for failing. 99% it will be one of the two.
