[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 85228, member: 15"] Fuhrer, if its a M50, then the possible causes are listed as per above. If the electric is out, then check the resistor and you may be able to salvage the fan. Check the two "switches" first. Any mechanic will be able to do that. The easiest one to start on is the switch attached to the right side of the radiator, its a 3 point switch, just get a wire and short it and the electric fan should kick into high speed. :) If it doesnt, then chances are the fan is kaput. Then check the resistor which is attached to the fan for continuity, need a tester for that. :) [/QUOTE]
