fans not working

[so1o 0]

Hi,

 

Someone please help. My problem started when the small plug that goes into the fan control module melted, also caused the fcm to smoke and it meled a hole in it. I replaced the fcm with a new one, replaced the radiator switch but still no luck. What do i check next? Someone please help as i really want to get my mk2 vr6 on the road. Before the melting happened everything was working fine. Im also 100% sure that the elctric water pump isnt working either, let the car get up to temp and the electric water pump was cold.

I would say check the fan wires near the fan switch, maybe from the heat, the wires got damaged and all so check the fuses, idk about the MK2 but my Vr6 has a fuse box in the hood near the expansion tank, for awhile my fan wasnt working as well ended up being some blown fuses, other wise i dont know

 

Good luck

cheers for that. I dont have any fuses in the engine bay, does anyone know how i can check if power is coming to the plugs that go into the fan control module?

 

Any tests i can do?

how about you check if your fan works at all by wiring it directly to the battery could be a bad fan

Tested the fans by direct power and they work, power is coming to the electric water pump, when supplied with direct power this would come on then go off again, constant on/off. The wires have been checked where the plug melted and they are all fine. The rad switch doesnt do anything when shorted with a paper clip, fans dont turn whatsoever.

 

Im so frustrated as to what the problem is now :( .
