Anyone got any suggestions?

Whilst in chunnel queue last week got very warm,didnt overheat. Could hear fans cutting in but since realised only one.shorted fan switch still only one,checked fuses all seem ok but fuses dont tally with anything in the bible.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.Nearly forgot very early 1996 500hc.

from memory there are two fan relays. Without a multimeter the quickest way to check is to swap the leads to each fan (at the fans) obviously if the other one runs then its ok. The next step is to swap the relays above the fuses, I'll get the positions for you if you need 'em.
