Hello looking for advice
Now the weather is good have been using the car more now, only managed 250 miles between Oct - Feb, one a run last week I had to que for about 10 minutes to park, the temp gauge went past the 90 mark, which it hadn't done before, then again I haven't been in any traffic.
Have read numerous threads on SM, decided to order a new resistor, couldn't do any harm, fitted today, ran the car upto 90 expecting fans to click in....nothing, went past 90 again, checked fuses, 2 x 50 amp in the bulkhead fuse box, no obvious breaks. Bridged the 2 wires for the resistor as I gather from previous threads this will switch them on continuously...not a sausage.
Not sure where the next check would be, relays in the bulkhead fuse box?
May have to go to an indie, but hoped to do it myself as it seemed a simple job!
