I've got a wire loose

[Per Lindgren]

Oh yeah, it made sense to me. I've owned an NG powered Audi myself.

I jst ran outside to have a check. The fan in my car has two wires, so
it is one speed. I tried to jump the wres, no go on the fan, with
ignition both off and on.

>Yeah, so it appears. Everything is different, but the same. I'm sure that made NO sense to you.  When I was having fan issues, I confirmed that it DOES have a 2 speed fan. The second speed (hurricane speed) doesn't come on unless it's REALLY hot and the AC is on. I've also NEVER heard the after-run circuit kick in, so I'm beginning to wonder if the sensor is dead...
