Hi,

Wondered if anyone could help out here.... My fans are stuck on all the time,(key in) happened the other day after a particularly lumpy start. Has anyone come across this before, and if so, what was done to fix?

Thanks,

James

We had problem with one fan staying on all time, something to do with air conditioning unit.
Ian at TrackvRoad in Clitheroe sorted it out.

I had a similar problem with one fan running all the time when I bought mine
Advised that it was the air con triniery switch.
The fact that the air con wasnt working should have been a clue as when I gave the Indi the new swsitch, he called me later to say that he couldnt find my air con (as it didnt have any)!!! silly

Anyway turned out to be a knackered fan relay.

Any idea if the triniary switch or relays are pretty easy to fit? I'm heading up north this weekend and am worried about the fans being on all the time on a 550 mile round trip- will it affect them?

The relays simply plug in to the fuse box under the drivers side of the dash. If the Trinary switch is defective this will possibly require degassing of the air con as it measures the system pressure, although if both fans are on this would indicate that the water temperature sensor is defective.
