Radiator fan resistor - 25/02/2019 12:07
The slow speed fan is not functioning on my 16v turbo, it hasn't worked for years. The terminals to the resistor are burnt, its had a poor connection there in the past but I don't believe that's the problem. I cant start the engine to test the switch but I suspect it's the fan resistor anyway.
The unit has a large coil, it has no resistance, what is the purpose of the coil? It also has what I assume is a small resistor underneath. Should this have resistance? I have continuity on all parts of the resistor unit except that little resistor itself is open loop. I assume this is a definitive test that it has failed, can anyone confirm?
This part seems impossible to get but 20v turbo resistor is available. It appears to be the same except for the terminals which should be easy to rewire. will it fit the radiator shroud?
Thanks
