The HS does override fine. | A quick test for the low speed fan operation is to unplug the LS relay from the socket inside the fuse box. Get a gauge 18 stranded wire. Strip the insulation on both ends about 1/4 inch long to expose the copper strands. Insert one end on the relay socket at terminal 85. This bypasses the ecu and the radiator temperature switch. Reinstall the low speed relay on the socket. Turn the ignition switch to ON but do not start. Ground the other end of the jumper wire. The fan should run in low speed. If it does not, the low speed resistor in the fan is blown or open. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 | | | 08-09-2011, 05:40 PM | #17 | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2011 Location: Cumming, GA Posts: 14 | Considering I have a new sensor switch and HS relay, I am going to disconnect the Sensor switch, and also the plug from the fan. In theory (right), if I jump either the LS or HS side of the sensor female plug, I should get power to the fan plug itself. That should take me to the route of either the issue is between the loop, or to the fan itself. (Possibly bad diode or resistor to the LS fan section). But this should, I say should, eliminate the fan one way or the other. | | | 08-09-2011, 10:44 PM | #18 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 | Replaced my HS relay today and after getting it up to temp the low speed fan kicked on while it idled. My thanks to all the people who posted the great info in this thread. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 08-10-2011, 12:53 AM | #19 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Minneapolis Posts: 1,587 | Quote: Originally Posted by spidertri Replaced my HS relay today and after getting it up to temp the low speed fan kicked on while it idled. My thanks to all the people who posted the great info in this thread. | Sweet! I just placed an order for a high speed relay today. $12.19 + $0.89 tax. I'll post my results too. | | | 08-15-2011, 08:14 PM | #20 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Minneapolis Posts: 1,587 | My issue appears to be the radiator temp sensor. At the plug, doing the test on Page 170-5 of the Bentley manual, I can jumper Black/Green + Brown and get Low fan speed. Jumpering Black/Grey + Brown turns the fan on High. It works with both my old high-speed relay and the new one. That's what I get for not doing my research and the proper diagnosis first! | | | 08-16-2011, 04:21 PM | #22 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Georgia Posts: 595 | Quote: Originally Posted by 9G3Series | that's pretty much the very first thing anyone should verify before going through the trouble of testing the relays and ECU inputs. If it does not pass the sensor test, proceed to testing the relay interlocks and control circuit, then the ECU input. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 | | | 08-16-2011, 04:37 PM | #23 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 | Quote: Originally Posted by 9G3Series | Just so you know, people don't usually delete their electric fans.

So, I need to do some wiring conversion under the fuse box board on my m44 fan conversion project.

Maybe there is something I don't understand? I wasn't aware that people deleted the electric fan on the M42/44. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 08-18-2011, 03:53 PM | #26 | Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Bangkok, Thailand Posts: 36 | Quote: Originally Posted by spidertri Why the roll eyes?

I didn't mean for it to sound that way. No worries. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 08-18-2011, 09:16 PM | #28 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | Quote: Originally Posted by 9G3Series | Removing the fan on an M42/M44 equipped car is not a good idea AT ALL.

The 318 i has both a "pusher" fan (mounted in front of the radiator) and a "puller" fan (mounted behind the radiator). The 318 ti only has a "puller" fan which operates in two modes. Low speed intermittent cools the radiator when the coolant reaches a certain temperature and high speed constant when the A/C is turned on. Furthermore, the 318 ti does not have the clutch driven fan mounted on the water pump pulley like other e36's do. So it's imperative that the puller fan remain installed and function properly as it's the only way to cool the engine when the car is sitting at idle or the a/c is turned on. I'm sorry, but your writeup is not relevant to 99% of the members on this forum and may possibly mislead someone into removing a critical part of the car's cooling system. I'll finish by saying that the FDM was intended for cars equipped with a clutch driven fan. This is the fan that is attached to the waterpump on the front of the engine. Again, 318ti's don't have this fan. The reason people remove this fan is because the plastic blades are known to break off and cause MAJOR damage. I've seen cases where the blades have dented hoods, destroyed radiators, caused belts to pop off etc. In some cases, people didn't even know their fan was missing blades, meanwhile the fan was unbalanced and causing excessive wear on the water pump bearings. If you google "e36 exploding fan" you'll see what I'm refering to. The only reason anyone would consider doing this mod on a 318ti is if they've done an engine swap and have a 6cyl engine with a clutch driven fan. FWIW, I plan on keeping my clutch driven fan on my S52 | | | 08-19-2011, 04:07 PM | #29 | Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Bangkok, Thailand Posts: 36 | Quote: Originally Posted by cooljess76 Removing the fan on an M42/M44 equipped car is not a good idea AT ALL.

However, my write-up is in the another social not in here, 318ti.org, though.
