05 2.0 a/c fan not working - rad121
Hi
The fan on my TDCi is not working. This means my air con works only when I'm on the move. Stop in traffic and it goes off and warm air.
I've been chasing this prob for a few weeks now and it's really starting to bug me. Somebody on the Mondeo forum said replace the fan switch. Prob now is parts people say they don't have a fan switch, Mk3 ECU does all that???
I've had it regassed, and its ice cold on the go, so it's not that. I've changed the low pressure switch, not that. On advice that it's been a cause of identical problems, I've tried a new 60amp fuse, but it made no difference. I also read on this forum that take out the relays and the K45 and K46 and the fan should kick in anyway. Well, I've done this, and nothing happened. Could this mean the fan is burnt out?
I also keep reading people talking about two fans, high speed and low speed, but my car seems to have just one fan?
Last point, one guy with the same problem says he fixed exact problem by replacing the fan controler box? mounted and sold as a complete unit with the shroud and fan motor, priced £275! This is my last resort as don't have £350 which with fitting this is what it would cost? Anyone on this?
Appreciate any response on this. It's driving me mad.
Regards
RD

Looks like the electronic fan control module is at fault here.I think you are correct about it only being available as a complete unit with the fan motor.May be a good idea to see if it is the same as a Jaguar x-type diesel unit.Sometimes the jag equivalent part is cheaper.hth
