The fan trigger switch is particularly trouble prone in these cars, I have to change mine about every 18 months.

The relay that runs it is under and obscured by the left head light

Test the system at the connector at the engine

  • Unplug the sensor, it is a single wire connector with a squeeze both sides to release connector.
  • Use a nail or paper clip or jumper wire and ground this wire to the engine with the key turned on
  • If the fan starts, replace the sensor, If not get the left head light up and hot wire the connector to provide power to the fan.
  • If it starts, bad relay,
  • If not bad fan.
  • Its always a good idea to inspect the connector at the sensor, they are easy to damage and break, available through any good parts store.
