Do you know where to find the electric fan relays on my 1995 318ti? The electric fan is not switching on low, though it switches on high. I suspect the relay switch. Any input appreciated | | | 10-12-2004, 11:59 AM | #2 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Malta, Europe Posts: 19 | Hi Guys, I have located the relays. One for 1st stage, one for the 2nd stage. Some Einstein had swapped the 2nd stage relay with the lighting relay! I managed to find a really good electrical diagram (pdf - 416 pages!) on the net. Fan now works on both speeds though this hasn't solved the overheating problem. I suspect a blocked rad as area around fan switch doesn't get as hot as the hoses. Any ideas? | | | 10-12-2004, 08:16 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Fort Collins, CO Posts: 290 | Mind posting a link to that electrical diagram? | | | 10-13-2004, 12:58 AM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Malta, Europe Posts: 19 | electrical diagrams!! Here's the link: http://www.gbnetwork.co.uk/bmw/downloadetm.html Cheers PS. Needle still in red zone even though It's the fourth time I'm bleeding it. I'll take the rad out tomorrow! Area around fan swtch is still cool compared to rest of rad. I suspect a blocked rad. I even found traces of radseal or the like in cooling system, now that blocks leaks as well as heaters and rads. We'll Seee.... | | | 10-13-2004, 10:43 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Fort Collins, CO Posts: 290 | Thanks for the link! | | | 11-11-2004, 11:56 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Sydney, Australia Posts: 593 | Quote: Originally Posted by Compact Missile Fan now works on both speeds though this hasn't solved the overheating problem.

Posts: 3,156 | From the traces of sealer found, I'd strongly suggest flushing the system a few times and finding the guy who put the sealer in there, and punching him in the mouth. | | | 02-08-2006, 12:11 PM | #8 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Malta, Europe Posts: 19 | Found the guy, punched him in the face, the works.

Posts: 3,156 | This only further reinforces the fact that the auto manufacturers spend a great deal of time, money and effort making sure everything works correctly in all climates. It's fun to be able to "just remove the (insert part name here) for 2 HP gains!", however there is always a price... | | | 02-08-2006, 07:52 PM | #10 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Malta, Europe Posts: 19 | Absolutely. The cooling system of the M42 doesn't work without a thermostat!! The radiator gets bypassed. The chap must have had an above average IQ. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
