I'm wondering what it more likely to fail, the fan
motor, or the thermo switch on the radiator that turns
the fan on? My fan doesn't work (163K miles), but
there are two possibilities. I'm slowly dismantling a
Vanagon at a junkyard (also at 161K miles) so my first
choice is to switch in parts from that van. (I think
Bus Depot has a complete new fan for $150).

Could the fan be tested by connecting it to a 12V
battery? Could the switch be tested using a 12V
battery and a pot of boiling water?
