Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 29, 2006 Slime line fans? :lol: Anyway, just wire it/them up to speed 1 on the VW plug. You can find out which is which easily enough by using a multimeter and probe the pins in the plug. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rocket 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Slime line fans you not heard of them there the new rage .... daft question what am looking at with the multi meter ???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 29, 2006 Voltage. If you bridge the connection in the radiator sender (to simulate it switching the fan on), stick your voltmeter red prong (black to earth) on the connectors in the fan plug. One of them will show 12V+, that will trigger your slime line fans :-) Or an easier method would be to just hook the fans straight into the rad sender. Just depends how original/neat you want to keep the wiring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rocket 0 Posted January 25, 2007 right got my fan and got my hose's so i put it all together and bridge the connector getting nothing at the fan end no 12v on any wire's the old fans did work but only on after run , thought this may have been down to a blown rad ???? any body help ???
