hi guys

we got an EL XR8 with the thermo fans all of a sudden not working.

we've checked the fuses to this and nothing is disconnected or blown.

can anyone tell me whats going on with them

I realise your new, but this is the 6 cylinder forum, you may get more responses if you post this in the V8 forum
http://www.fordmods.com/forums/v8-workshop-f2.html
Is your cluster registering the temperature?
Unplug the fans and run a live wire and earth to the appropriate pins to confirm the fans are capable of working.
I'm not familiar with EL V8s so hopefully the guys in that forum will be able to help you more.
Cheers,
Paul

Should be a relay block somewhere near the air box... check the relays

I have 2 fan assemblies and one relay block assembly for sale in Sydney if you find you need them, any reasonable offer considered.
