Diana2830 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Hi everyone, I'm new to all this but I seem to be having trouble with the fan (located in the engine bay) of my fiesta, any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. The problem is that the fan always runs at top speed when I start the car up until I turn the engine off... I have replaced the fuse and the fast fan relay and neither has fixed the problem. Thank you in advance for any replys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Does the temperature gauge work correctly on the dash? Have you got the air conditioning switched on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana2830 Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 The temp gauge works as it should and no a/c on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After further thought, I don't think there will be a fan module on that car. Just a basic resistor at the bottom corner of the cowling. You can unplug both plugs to see if they are damp or corroded inside. One directly on the fan motor. And the other on the resistor just outside of the fan itself. The plugs may have a small tab or button that needs to be pushed or pulled to release them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diana2830 Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 One quick question what is the cowling please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cowling is just the large rectangular plastic sheet that the fan is mounted on. This is one from a 1.0 EcoBoost, showing the resistor plug on the bottom left hand corner and fan plug right in the middle. And this is one from a diesel, showing the square fan module bottom centre instead of the basic resistor shown above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diana2830 Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 Hi, I'm back, so we have changed the resistor and the heater blower resistor and nothing has changed its still going at top speed everythime the engine is on, I'm thinking it definitely must be a wire problem as I think we are out of options unless anyone has any other ideas please 🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
