QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Hi everybody, I was just curious, I understand, e30's or BMW's in general were fitted with an electric fan if AC was installed, my AC has always been disconnected and as far as I am aware the fan doesn't do anything, is this fan only supposed to operate if the AC is functioning and switched on? If thats the case, is there any way I can get it to work for me? Or is is overkill as my car's cooling system seems to work quite well, Any info appreciated. Cheers, Alex.

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 My old E30's AC was forked so when my fan coupling went I just wired the AC fan to the ignition so when the car was on ACC it would come on. Either that or just hook it up to a switch? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 yyeah might hook it up to a switch just in case the main fan screws out, its a good fail safe I guess, I was reading in my hayns manual that i activates via switches/heat sensor inside the radiator or have I read wrong? Can anyone clarify? No problems just finding and re-routing the wiring and making a switch? Cheers, Alex. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
