Hi Subi folk,
I have an issue or two with my old DL wagon. And hope someone can help me sort it out. She is currently unregistered, and probably unroadworthy.
Firstly
my old 1990 DL wagon is overheating. It has an electric fan linked to a temperature switch in the radiator
The fan works fine when connected directly to the battery.
The temperature switch seems fine. -I thought it might be faulty so swapped it over with a spare. still no joy so then tested the original one in a kettle of boiling water and it tested fine for continuity at temp. So I figured that wasn't the problem.
I tested continuity of wires from the fan to the fuse box - checked out ok.
And there is 12+ volts at the fuse box
The fuse is not blown.
I'm not sure how to check the other bits of the wiring - I have a manual for an 1986 model, which shows the fan and radio sharing a fuse but not the 1990 model which has a separate fuse for the fan
I am new to auto electrics, and did some youtube tutorials on how to use a multi meter - but I'm not super sure I have done it correctly.
Any suggestions would be warmly welcomed.
Thanks Phil
