Fan relay unit thing
« on: 04 June 2011, 18:24 »
The fan relay unit thing thats bolted under the coolant bottle, it has 2 fuse slots in it but mines only had 1 in it for about a year. Is it supposed to have 2? Its got me thinking as my fan doesnt work so this could be the problem, but I'm sure its worked since after the fuse got taken out (not sure why it was taken out, seems to have gone missing during a service)

anyone know what there for? Cheers

I think the extra fuse is if you have twin fans.

Yes but the extra fuse might / will be due to the extra load.
