After calling on Nick (DemiCobra) I thought how well is this car going.
Hmmmmmmmmmm...............
Picked my daughter up later in the day and I sensed something not quite right. Got home and the bloody thing is overheating!!!!
Fan not working
Decided to forget about it and have a few more lubricating beers - suddenly turned warmer in QLD (not just the car!).
Today I thought that's it, time to lye upside down in the cockpit and find the problem.
Fan definitely not working, but fuses seem okay. Hook up the fan to the Jeep battery and hey presto we have movement. Hmmm, what else - the relay maybe.
Now where is that relay? - no manual, no colour coded wires - excellent!!!!
I do have a manual switch so click click and in the end I find the relay - under the dash behind the glove box - impossible to see even upside down with my feet through the hoop
Come on guys - GET THAT WIRING SORTED AND ACCESSIBLE FOR US TYPE'S who buy from you!!!
Anyway, shuffle shuffle and hey presto the fan works, but (always a but) the live feed is bloody hot due to a loose connection.
New relay is the order of the day and repositioned to an user friendly location!
Question after all this I notice the relay has different crimped connections and the existing wires don't seem to want to leave their home. Is there an alternative type of relay where the wires can be either screwed in or some other method to crimping special connectors to the relay itself?
Wondorous cars, these
