With the key in "Run," jumpering the temp switch on the receiver/drier should actuate the fan relay and power the fan. The relay is powered through fuse 12; the fan through fuse C.


where were you an hour ago.... . .. the fan works fine. Now I have to drill and tap one of the bolts that broke off when I was removing the fan.... so the aucx fan is not part of the normal cooling system? I was hoping this was the reason I run at 100C all the time? I have a thermostat on the way but I most likely will not get it until thursday. I am definitely learning a lot about German engineering...
