Engine bay fan

[Mike Stewart]

hi all, i have a N/A mk2.iv had it over a year now and the engine bay fan has never worked.checked the fan on a seperate power sorce and it works, the relay switch and fuse r both ok.the warning light doesnt come on with the engine running. does any1 have any ideas what else it could be?
thanks

have you tried unplugging the temp sensor thats attached to the engine bay lid. If you unplug it the fan should start... even if engine is stone cold..... if it does not perhapse the fan is broken ?

sounds like a problem with the wiring if it works under a different power source and the fuse and relay are ok.

check the wiring back from the fan to the relay etc. maybe put some replacement wire in place as a test and see if that works.
