How did you jump the fan exactly?
I test the fan by pulling the plug on the fan switch on the side of the radiator and jumping the center pin to one side then the other. The fan should kick on then assuming it is plugged in. If it is not plugged in you should be able to easily hear the relay's clicking when you jump the pins on the fan switch connector.
Even if the fan is not working the car should still cool fine as long as it is moving. Have you tried driving it?

OH andddd my fuses are kinda confusing me. on the fuse pannel it says that 16 and 41 are my aux fan. fuse 16 is a 5amp and thats fine but fuse 41 isnt even in my car... at all. supposed to be a 30amp and i have nothing. is this something that my car doesnt have like my lumbar support? i dont have lumbar support but my pannel lists it. also the temp sensor? is it possible that went bad? im thinking no since its reading on the temp guage. am i right? finally as i was trying to bleed the system i never got heat. i followed the proceedure correctly with car inclined and bleeder screw and cap of and yada yada yada. im no stranger to cooling systems on e30s and the horror stories they all have but idk about these e36/5s. someone snap their fingers and help me please lol. thank you russ |
