Ek-3 Radiator Fan

[Madhu]

Guys,

I have found that the radiator fan of my EK-3 has a locally installed power supply.

Original seems not working properly.

Is this bad?

Any thoughts?

thanks

Depends on what you mean by 'locally installed' Have you bypassed any of the original circuitry?

Or could it be that the Thermostat switch has been bypassed and your fan runs continuously?

madhu,

is there a problem with your radiator? is the car over heating?

if your car is not heating and it's working fine. best leave it alone. my 2 cents

some people bypass the thermostat to keep the fan working non-stop,believing that is the cause for overheating...when in reality it's the radiator itself that has sprouted unnoticable leaks,or summin' like that...i'd go with the original set-up,as i've heard the continous revoloution of the fan,without the "governing" of the thermostat is harmful to the engine(not personally verified).

Well I was told that My Radiator fan was not working properly by an electrician. The car heats up when I speed over 60 and heat comes back to normal when I drive slow.

I m still not sure if its problem with the fan or if its the radiator it self.

For most of the Japanese vehicles radiator fan works in Slow mode & Fast modes. This is achieved by wiring two fans in series (slow mode) and parallel (fast mode). When the A/C is on fans work continuously in slow mode. When the car is heated fan works in fast mode. After cooling it become to slow mode if the A/C is on or fan switches off if A/C is off. So check your car is working simillar to that.

Good luck
