timmsy19 3 Posted April 11, 2009 Hi all. i replaced my hermoswitch about 2 months ago but still the car seems to overheat before the switch cuts in i know a few people have said get one that cuts in lower down but does anyone have the actual part numbers for a Later phase 2 one that will cut in lower down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,526 Posted April 11, 2009 Are both speeds working? There should be a slow speed that comes on earlier, then a fast speed that cuts in when it gets really hot. If the slow speed doesn't work you will find it gets really hot before the fan comes in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timmsy19 3 Posted April 11, 2009 the low speed doesnt work but the full speed did work when i renewed it but neither speed works now. where is the resistor located for it? behind the passenger headlamp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,627 Posted April 11, 2009 It "should" be clipped to the top of the radiator at the read edge, but is normally just dangling on its wide in front of the gearbox. the resistor behind the headlamp is for the dim dip system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James_R 3 Posted April 11, 2009 I removed the ballast resistor so it just has one speed (on) not the low speed, which really wasn't helping, not had issues since Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timmsy19 3 Posted April 12, 2009 cheers guys. the one behind the headlamp i removed when i fitted my HID kit so just wondering if i got one of them mistaken. hmmm i'll try and find the other one tomorrow i think so i can keep one speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
