My car is a '79 Non A/C car. Don't think my fan is working at all.
When warmed up, about where is the temp gauge needle supposed to be? Mine is a bit above the 190 mark on the gauge.
How do you know when the rad fan is on? Can you hear it running when driving the car?
Should the fan continue to run after the car is turned off after driving it for a while? I think it should be.
Can you test for power to the fan when the car is cold or does it have to be warmed up. I think the sensor on the rad sends a signal to a relay, relay closes, and the relay sends power to the fan? (Not great with electrical diagrams.) I thought about testing the blue wire at the connector before the fan with my test light with the key turned on. Will that work as a test?
Where is the ground located for the fan? Is it in the left headlight bucket with that cluster of other ground wires?
I checked the fuse on the fuse panel and its good. I assume the relay is working.
Thanks for the replies and help.
