Hi all
havent needed to follow anyone elses info on blinking temp light until
now.
i have a 84 vanagon 7 pass 4spd with only 20 k miles on it that i just
put a new exhaust and front brakes on from sitting for so long. i took
it on it maiden voyage of 8 miles just last weekend. the gauge slowly
went up to about mid gauge and the coolant light LED started to blink.
i checked the motor when i shut it down and it seemed a decent
operating temp. im not sure what to check and i dont think that the
coolant fan even kicked on but i can check to make sure it is
operational. for normal not hard running would the coolant get warm
enough to trigger the fan to come on? the coolant level is good from
the 2 aft tanks so im not sure if i just need to bleed the system maybe
or what. my 85 westi fan wouldnt kick on unless i was just sitting in
one place for some time on a very warm day. any ideas or what to check
1st. i did check the connector plugs at the sending switch with no
change. i just want to fix it quick so im asking the vanagon gods so i
dont need alot of trial and error on my part. thanks Jonce also im sure
i have the spare parts just not sure what to swap out thanks Jonce
