EA81 Rad Fan Relay?

Featured Replies

Hi guys!

 

Im completely stumped with my brumby, I cant seem to find the relay for the radiator fan.  Im guessing there isnt one since the fan refuses to run.  So where should it be?

 

In the process of rebuilding a stripped out super basic brumby for having some fun in the valleys over summer.  So far this is the most confusing problem!

(Legacy still going good btw, finally run out of extras to bolt onto it and havnt crashed this one at all in 6 years ;) )

No relay for the fan. Battery voltage fed to fan motor, thermo switch in radiator supplies ground, thru short bonding wire on the top of the radiator to body. Bonding wire should be just to the left of hood latch as you look at it from the front.

 

Un-plug the fans motor and wire directly to battery to check if it actually works.

Plug motor back in, un-plug wire at thermo switch, and hook it to battery -, fan should run. If it does, thermo switch or bonding wire is the issue. Provided, there is voltage coming to the fan motor, (not sure of fuse involved right now, will find out though).
