[s-cars] Cooling fan resistor pack

[Ivan Demkovitch]

Folks,

I'm trying to fix not working Cooling Fan.

Found Fred's post in archives but wanted to clarify something.
I have same thing - +12 on both relays which means fuse ok. I did not try to 
jump terminals yet, but wanted to get prepared for checking resistor pack. 
Does anybody know exact location of this thing? I don't even know what 
should it look like :)

Any easier way to get to it then to remove bumper and intercooler? May be FL 
headlight will do?

Thanks,
Ivan

----------------------
Your fan relays are in the relay box under the hood, drivers side. There is
a resistor pack mounted down by the intercooler somewhere. When I had this
problem on my '94 S4 the fan harness connector was burnt - you have to
remove the front bumper and intercooler to get to the connector. Well, you
don't have to do that on my car - now :o).

I narrowed down my problem by pulling the Stage 3 relay and checking for
power feed - there was power, so the fan fuse & power feed circuit was OK. I
then shorted out the power terminals in the relay socket with a jumper - the
fan still didn't run, so the relay circuitry and resistor pack were not the
problem. That left the motor and the harness, so I checked the harness first
and found the burnt connector.
