Subject:Rad Fan isn't working properly
From:eric unrau

Hi Folks,

Recently replaced my coolant expansion tank.

My rad fan used to kick in when the needle reached 1/2
of a needle width away from the LED; now it isn't
turning on at all - at least at the temps that I have
allow the engine to reach.

I have tested the fan by jumping the outside contacts
on the rad fan switch connector - the fan runs at high
speed, and by jumping the middle and one of the
outside contacts - the fan runs at low speed.  I
replaced the rad switch today with a new switch and
there was no improvement.

I have bled the rad, it gets hot - so the coolant is
flowing through the system, but for some reason the
fan isn't switching on.

I'm I missing something here?  Help!
