Rado VR6 fans not going off and killing the battery, Drivers heated seat not working

Recommended Posts

1. My VR6's cooling fans dont want to go off and its killing my battery...

 

2. Drivers heated seat not working but the passenger seats perfect. You can hear the relay clicking in the nsr arch when turning the heated passenger seat on.

 

 

 

Anyone had this problem?

think it may have something to do with the rad stat or its plug, its on the lower right side of rad {if your faceing the car} have a look and unplug it see if it stops, im sure someone with more experiance will post up.

Yeah check the rad switch, as VR_owner said its the bottom right of the rad down below the battery. Failing that it could be the fan control box which sits in front of the coolant expansion tank. But check the rad switch first :D

I had the same problem with my drivers heated seat when I first got my C, it was a soldered connection that had broken off, just needed re soldered and all was fine. Eact symptoms. Its just where you get in and out, especially the driverside and the movement distrurbs the connection. You have to take the seat out, unclip the springs holding the material and with a sharpe knife gentle cut the white fabric that sandwiches the wire / heating element and find where its disconnected. Usually its the join where it loops back to itself. My thread has a picture of this somewhere.

Thanks guys il check it out.... :)

 

I have found the problem with the cooling fans not going off.... Finally...

 

In the engine bay on the right hand side next to the water tank and washer fluid tank theres a black like relay block with 2 x 10mm bolts and a see through cover with the numbers 506................ 5amp and 20amp....

 

I have just tapped it and they have gone off!!!

 

Must be a dodgy sticking relay or a bad connection.

I think I will be stripping it down and giving it a good clean.

 

Just glad they have gone off and are not killing the battery anymore...:)

Taken drivers seat out.

Loosed the 10mm bolt on the front of the seat.

Pushed chair right back and it slid straight out.

 

Had to strip bottom half of seat which was took some time.

Slowly pulled the (heater element) from seat.

 

Checked cables and did a continuity test. Found a bad soldering connection and a break.

 

Resoldered and cured fault.

 

Put everything back together...

 

Can be time consuming if its your first time.
