Hello everybody. I noticed today my cooling fan is not kicking on in my 1996 850 non- turbo. Are there fuses for it anywhere? Or what else could it be? Oh, and the temp guage goes up to half way and thats it, it doesn't go any higher. I just hope I didn't hurt the motor, when I got home I had some antifreeze leakage but I couldn't tell from where though. Thanks!

 

Ck for 12V pwr at the red wire on the engine cooling fan relay, on the top of radiator; should be terminal A1. If you have pwr there, it's probably the relay...

Did you test the fan?

 

+1

More then likely it is the relay. If you try and spin the fan by hand, does it spin freely?

 

Going thru this myself now. '95 850 . Fan meltdown 2 months ago, got new one. worked ok for a while then got a boil over again. low speed fan quit, got a replacement reinstalled.
Noticed temp gage stayed at mid point after ign turned on-didnt move anywhere. Heater core leak bypassed for a couple of weeks.
New core, thermostat, temp sending unit & antifreeze installed this weekend. no change on instrument cluster temp gage.
How can I check the Relay for proper function?
Old sensor & stat. checked out good per "Chiltons"
Fan runs on Hi & Low speed when direct voltage put to red or green wire.

Am I missing something or is it Relay & maybe ECC

 

I don't really understand what you are saying you have a problem with. Is the car currently over heating or the fan at the radiator not working?

 

Fan runs all the time after starting but wont kick into hi speed when A/C selected. Keeps running for 3 min after ign turned off.
Temp gage goes to & stays at mid point, after ign switched on.
Fan keeps running for 3 min after ign. turned off.
How can I check relay for proper function?
How can I check yellow & yellow/white wires to relay? (Volts or Ohms @ diff temp from ECC,ECU)
