Title: WG 4l electric fan stuck on..
Post by: scrw on June 24, 2010, 09:20:19 PM
..before I trawl the FSM, any suggestions why my fan is stuck on? It flattened the battery yesterday  :banghead: pulled the fuse for now and temp was okay on the trip back from Hull but don't want to leave it like that.

Fooked temp sensor??

All falls into the Chrysler business model...... Sell them dirt cheap (they are here anyway),
but when they go wrong, make them very difficult to fix, thus making your money back
in labour costs.

Took relay off, bangged against the wall, refitted, working okay  :lol_hitting:

Best order a new one though methinks  :003:

vehicle designers only design for their alotted area. their designs are the transfered to a digital image of the new vehicle and if it fits in the relevant location then it's ok. they don't consider servicing issues that is where the dev technicians realise what has to be done to service and develop parts. this then results in the designer changing the layout or not as in most cases.

ally jag xj350 has a part that costs around £5 which involves an engine removal to get to it which costs much moolar just because someone didn't think
