Re: V8 Electric Auxiliary Fan

Dave,
I am in the same quandry you are and my repair shop has done all the
tests and is telling me I need the processor which is part of the
instrument cluster. You may have seen some of the communication going
through this list over the past two weeks.
Some very savvy q owners have been helpful to me and will be to you. As
you have just had a timing belt changed I would suggest starting with
the temp sensors in the radiator or the fan assembly, which must have
been removed during timing belt change...No?
