Fan Test Question
Okay, first of me and electricity don’t mix so don’t laugh at this very basic question. I need to test functionality of a fan I just replaced that is not working. Can I very simply run two test wires from the battery to the terminals on the fan to test its functionality? Long story short. Yesterday for the first time temp gauge hit the ¾ mark. Pulled over to investigate and noticed passenger side fan not working. I turned off the car and tried to spin it and it was frozen. No biggie, 30 year old fan bound to go at some point. I had a spare in the garage that I got in a parts trade. Didn’t think about testing, just swapped it in. It spins freely but does not come on. Still only the driver’s side operates. Hmmm… wiggled the wires, checked fuses, wires on switch etc. No luck. So before I start tearing apart or purchasing another fan I want to crudely test it. Will my jumper wire question work?
thanks Brian
