Stage 2 fan not working - how to remove wire from plug?

Recommended Posts

I've just tested my rad fan to find stage2 is not working. Stage 1 and 3 are fine.

 

I've got the multimeter out and found that the red wire from the fan motor to the fan control module has a high resistance. I had an obstruction in the fan recently and the motor was smoking a bit. I am guessing that the wire in the fan motor plug may have been damaged and needs some attention.

 

So, does anyone know how to remove the wires from the rad motor plug? It looks like the are clips at the top of the plug. I tried a pair of small screwdrivers but could not release it.

Secondly, does anyone know what the different colours on the rad fan wiring are for? I'm not sure this is causing my 2nd stage fan problem but suspect it may be.

Ok, I seem to have a bit of an odd problem. Ive just noticed that the red wire on the plug for the fan control module/fan motor has continuity to earth and +12v. I'm not sure that stage2 has ever worked and I suspect dodgy wiring from when the dealers fitted the aircon.
