Testing if the coolant fan works?
Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 2:39 pm
Is there any way to test if the fan works. I have started the bike and got it too 3/4's temp on the gauge. The fan didn't kick in.
I have checked the connetctors on the fan switch that goes into the radiator and they were dirty. Cleaned them and now have the bike running to get it hot. I have tried to put a wire acroos the two plugs that go into the fan switch connectors to create the circuit, but it didn't work.
Does this mean the fan is knackered or could it still be the switch (ie the wire wouldn't have started the fan anyway)?
Thanks
