[Vwdiesel] Vanagon Part X: Radiator Questions?

[Nate Wall]

Perhaps the thermo switch is still connected. Usually,
when one installs a switch, its to turn the fan "ON"
before the thermoswitch turns it on, like when
beginning to climb a grade. Its a "manual override".

There are 2-prong and 3-prong switches. (for 1 or
2-speed fans). On the three-prong, I forget which
prong is the common lead. Use an ohm meter and a
thermometer and test the continuity of the switch in
hot water. You need the thermoswitch specs (Bentley
manual).

Not sure how to acess the switch onin the Van.
