aux cooling fan???


  

ebrobb -> aux cooling fan??? (6/15/2008 8:29:48 PM)

Howdy folks, just bought a 87 300d turbo a couple of weeks ago, haven''t driven it much trying to work a couple things out before the wife starts commuting in it full time.  This weekend I noticed sitting in traffic the temp gauge starting to edge up slightly and the A/C gets warmer at the same time, as soon as you start moving everything goes back to normal quickly.  I pulled over to check and see if the aux cooling fan was running and it wasn''t.  I checked the fuse and it was O.K.   We had a 420SEL a couple of years ago and I thought the aux. fan kicked in with the A/C or does it simply come on at a given temp.  Can anybody help???  Thanks

There is a switch on the receiver dryer that triggers the fan. Jump the two plug wires together and see if the fan kicks on.

Removing the engine fan is a bad idea on any model, even if its replaced by an electric fan.
