If both wire low speed n hi speed still not worked..so how..
@Mini-Driver 3 сағат бұрын
That may mean your fan is burnt and not working at all. For me, I would remove the fan and bench test the motor. If you have access to a salvage yard, try to test one there (use a jump box) to compare. Thanks for watching and hope it helps.

From the side wheel well to the headlight, are they all push pins? Also, is it necessary to adjust the aim when finished?
@Mini-Driver 2 күн бұрын
Yes the lights need to be adjusted when you change the unit. It's not a hard job, but important not to blind oncoming drivers. Yes, "I think" all of the fasteners are push-pin except the 4 on the headlights>

Thanks for the idea! Here is maybe a safer and simpler idea to test the same concept you had. In the fuse box, there are two relays for the Fan State 1 and Fan State 2. By removing the relay and using the empty relay socket itself to turn on the fan with thick enough wire / piece of metal. This would be much less hasle and safer as you still keep the 50A fuse in line. Also if you have some cable tools available, one can create a cable with same clip size as the replay and simply slot a cable in place of the relay. And there is a safety, that you have to turn your one click to make the fan go (bypassing the main relay), so there is less risk of shorting while moving the live wires. By your method, there is no fuse and when accidentally shorting the battery, there is potential for 250~350A, basically creating a welding machine and the battery will heat up very fast, creating the next risk for fire. So be careful!
@Mini-Driver 5 күн бұрын
I get that and thanks for the information. With my method, you can also test an assembly out of the car, as in a salvage yard. There are risks involved, so test at your own risk. For the low speed, you can also turn on the A/C and that supposed to start the low speed fan as well. Thanks for watching.
