Subject:      Radiator Fan Resistor Question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


Hi Volks,


Next question... does anyone know or can check out with a meter what the
resistance should be on the resistor behind the drivers side headlight for
the radiator fan. I've lost the fan. Checked out the temp switch and its
fine - both stages switching to open circuit at the correct temps (ish).
Checked the fan and it is buzzing just fine with 12v applied direct - leaves
the resistor and the relay if the archives are correct.


Measuring at the back of the connector plug I get ~ 6 ohms across the outer
terminals, ~ 4.3 ohms across the two terminals "closest" to each other and ~
1.3 ohms across the "spaced apart" terminals.


Just wanted to check it out to eliminate it or confirm it as the culprit...


TIA


Cheers, Paul.
