Thread: Electrical related questions + others

Just had a quick look at mine. It appears to be attached to the fan, possibly a capacitor for the motor? Can you see where the wires go?

More likely to be a resistor block for the different fan speeds. They get hot at low fan speeds so fan cooling makes sense.

So I was poking around the heater box in the engine bay and found a rusted, very dodgily sealed box that looked like a voltage regulator just sitting loose in there

Can anyone confirm that this is a/the voltage regulator, and if so, give me a part number so I can get a new one?

Thanks

fan speed resistor.

dont bother to replace it with another one, replace it with a 12v 5A pwm unit and put the controller up near the dash

Would you have a link to one at all? all I get when I search in google is computer fan controllers....

It's a god awful mess in there and I'm short. I'll get the ladder out so I can poke my head under there and see If I can work out where its going.

I can see that there is black cable that runs from alternator to the starter motor that branches off to it, then there is some short cable that I think goes to the heater box.
will report back!
