1984 Daihatsu Charade Two Wheel Drive Manual

G'day guys,

I have a 1984 Charade. The engine is sideways in the car and therefore there are no belts driving the radiator fan. The fan is bolted to the back of the radiator and isn't going. I've put a test light into the wires and don't get a reaction. Is it thermostatically controlled or is the fan buggered? I thought that there would have been power to the wires. How do I check to see if it is alright or controlled by the thermostat or does it run all the time when the engine is running?
Thanks, home someone can help.
Andrew.

start by powering up the fan motor with 12v to see if the motor is good
