Congratulations!

By the way, your pictures are very good and enjoyable.

Do you have an Instagram account? If not, you should, and you'd love it.

Quite close! Had it looked at last night, turns out only 1 of the fans are turning.

Off to Ebay..... that fan is so expensive brand new!!!!?!?!?!

You've had some horrible luck but bit by bit it's coming together. Keep thinking of the good times because you will get there! One day you will look back on the drama and laugh. 😊

Throw afermarket fans on it. 2 Derale units would work great and give you much more space in there.

Have you put voltage to the fan motor before condeming it? It may be that the A/C button isn't pushed and it's the A/C fan motor side? Don't know I'm knew at this.

Both fans always run together on a 951. The temp switch will tell them to either not run, or run at low or high speed. The a/c button overrides the temp switch and makes the fans run on high.

If only one of the fans isn't operating properly, then there is something wrong with that fan, or it's plug/wiring or it's blown a fuse. Each fan has an individual little fuse, in addition to the big relay that controls them both. If both fans aren't operating, then the problem is further upstream in the wiring, temp switch or relay.

Mockingbird, before you do any trouble shooting, you should check the fuses for the fans.

Soooo....... i got my overheating issue fixed.

I sent it to another shop to have a look and turns out there were 2 culprits.
Thinking one of the fans was busted, i ordered a nice working one from Lart. But still the problems persisted. Turns out...

1st, the fan not turning was most likely the relay/fuse. So i ordered a new one.

2nd, the original shop actually wired up Lart's fan the wrong way around... so it was blowing air away! from the radiator instead of pulling air in..... The new shop i turned to wired it up properly and with the relay just arriving yesterday, both my fans are now turning and the temp sits beautifully in the middle throughout.

BUTTTTT!!!!!! Now my headlights are refusing to pop up.... wtf mang...
