So my radiator fan does not turn on when the vehicle is hot. I have tried bypassing the radiator fan switch and that starts the fan. So in fact the fan works when I bypass the switch, my first thoughts were maybe the switch is faulty. I have removed the switch tested it and there is continuity when it warms up in hot water. I even bought a new switch just encase and it is still the same problem of: 1). Radiator fan does not work even when the cars temperature is almost boiling 2). Yet still if i bypass the switch it works. So what could be happening for the switch to not be detecting that the vehicle is hot and turn on?
The only way i can drive the vehicle is by bypassing the switch, when i do so, the vehicle temperature remains normal but I do not want to continually have my vehicle like that, as I am afraid long distance travelling will burn out the electric motor if it is continually running.
Note: there is no fan clutch in my vehicle, there is no motor relay. It is is a small old Suzuki 1998.
