I've been searching and reading, but apologies if I've missed anything.. I'm not sure if the fans on my '03 T1N are running correctly..
From start up the belt driver (viscous coupling?) fan runs, and always appears to run. I have not heard nor seen the electric fan on the exterior of the radiator run ever though.. In a recent drive through the mountains in Georgia I saw the coolant temps rise to around 220' but I still didn't perceive a change in either fan, and the electric fan was not running when I stopped at a rest stop still at this temperature.
If it sounds like the electric fan is not operating correctly (or at all), is there a thread that covers diagnosis of the related items i.e. a temperature switch, a fuse, a relay and any other related items please?
Thanks!!
Just for full disclosure after reading another related thread (that didn't cover the system in detail), the previous owner of my van had removed the A/C compressor.. I do not know what else they removed though.
