Any one knows the location for the cooling fan fuse s42?

preferably with a picture.

According to elsawin it should be located in the 8-way relay carrier behind the drivers storage comparment.

Here is a pic I took from my relay carrier

Er, have you checked all those fuses to see if one has blown????

According to elsawin it's one of those horizontal ones at the bottom right. Looks like you've got a fair bit of non-standard wiring there.

Thanks.

None of the these are blown:

So guess it is the Coolant Fan Control Module (J293) that's faulty.

Don't tell us too much about your problem, will you?

I've had the coolant fan control module fault since i've had my car and there's nothing wrong with it, quite a common fault apparently when googling. I did post a picture up of it's location somewhere on here.

One of the control modules is built into the fanmotor, the other one is under the chassis member at the front of the car.

Should have guessed it by now

18068 - Coolant Fan Control 1: Short to Ground
P1660 - 002 - Lower Limit Exceeded - Intermittent

Checked all the wiring and fuses so only one item remains.

your pic bilko1:

You can use the Vagcom to test the fans using the output tests. Do they both come on and ramp up?

Will test it tomorrow.

Will let you know the results.

Just found this:



3-point relay and fuse carrier
Behind driver's storage compartment, at central carrier




8-point relay carrier
Behind storage compartment (item 3)
13-point relay and fuse carrier
Behind driver's storage compartment (item 1)
Micro-central electrics
At relay carrier, behind driver's storage compartment (item 2)






Fuse carrier
Behind left dash panel side cover


Could come in handy for later reference.

Kaput!

It doesn't respond at all doing the output test.

A new/old one from ebay should do the trick.

Looking at it's position it's gonna be a tough job replacing it. :/
