[s-cars] Climate Control - Damn the Snowflake

[Fred Munro]

Sean;

When you turn on the A/C, the electric rad fan should run. If it doesn't
there is a problem somewhere. On my UrS4 the fan connector was burnt.
Replacing it solved the problem. There is probably a fusible link or fused
ground in the wiring somewhere - can't recall now, but I know my old '91
200q had a fused ground on the electric rad fan. You can swing the rad out
without draining it or disconnecting the A/C. You have to remove the front
bumper and the lock plate and assorted rad mounting bits, and the rad will
swing out from the right side about 12" or so to allow you to get in behind
it if required.

OK so I have to open this thread back up...

How hard is it to pull the aux fan with the radiator still attached to car?
Found a non-functioning fan may be the reason my snowflake (compressor)
keeps turning off.

I did not see anywhere in the guide from the 12v.org site where you could
get info as to if the fan was getting a signal to turn on/off or if it was
getting any voltage at all.  At this point I do not know if the fan motor is
good or not.  When I reached in to turn the fan it just wobbled around like
the blades were completely detached from the motor.

Thanks,
