[Mk2] [Turbo] BGB Experts - IC Fan & Reverse Lights not working?

Post by IMR2T »

On diagnosing a starting issue I shorted the starter motor live and the IC Fan came on.

Ever since then I just get the warning light on the dash when town driving as the fan won't operate.

If I disconnect the heat sensor the fan doesn't come on.

If I lightly connect the fan relay in the engine bay fuse box leaning it towards the cabin the fan spins. If push the relay in properly it cuts.

I've tried another relay and another 20amp fuse and nothing.

So what I need to know is what relays/circuits are linked as me shorting the starter live has clearly done something.


The reverse lights is a new phenomenon. The bulbs are fine and a power probe on the live terminal of the plug switches on the reverse lights.

I changed the reverse switch and still nothing. Kinda wondered if it could be linked to the IC fan issue?
