Cooling fan not cutting in

[Peterh]

Hi,

I have just acquired a 1.9 55 plate berlingo 600D LX and seem to have a problem with the temperature rising well above normal when driving in stop start traffic. I have checked and the cooling fan doesn't switch on under these circumstances so I think this is the cause of the problem.

I would appreciate any help with finding the location of the cooling fan switch / fuse / relays so I can try and diagnose the cause of the problem.

From reading other posts on this forum it seems that the cooling fan may be controlled by the ecu so there may not be a separate cooling fan switch. I have tried to gain access to the cooling fan but it appears that I need to remove the bumper. Is that correct ??

Any help on this would be much appreciated

Regards,

Peterh
