[s-cars] Trouble with secondary electric cooling fan

[Keith Maddock]

I had this problem last month, and the fuse S42 (60 AMP maxi-fuse) was indeed blown.   I replaced it just in time to get stuck in July 3rd Fireworks traffic in downtown Chicago (I only moved about a mile in 2 hours in 95 degree humid weather)!!!

I was all worried I'd have to trace wires forever to track it down, but this is indeed an easy fix.

Good luck,
Keith "Car-less in Detroit" Maddock

(T minus 3 days till takeoff to the fatherland!)

Matt,
I've been looking into this recently because my brother has the same problem
with his 93 s4.   The Bentley manual shows  fuse S42 in position 8 (rear
center) of the auxillary relay panel II.  This is the relay panel located
behind the side trim below the hood release handle in the drivers side
footwell.  I hope to find a blown fuse when I see my brother and take a look
later this week.

regards,
Bob

Hi Guys !

I'm a newbie from Paris, France and own a '96 RS2 and a '94 S4 (my daily
driver). I have a problem with the S4 : the a/c kicks in and out as the
secondary electric cooling fan that is running when the a/c is on is not
working. A/C relay is ok (n°217 in the relay box under the hood), fuses in
the fuse box on the side of the dash are ok, a/c compressor kicks in and
produces cold allright when the car is moving but it will let the car
overheat in traffic because this &"éé''é" fan is not running. The high
pressure switch kicks in when it has to, disengaging the compressor when it
gets too hot in there. The only thing I haven't done so far is sending 12v
straight into the fan but this involves removing the front bumper, which is
not easy... Any idea ?

Thanks,

Matt
