Well, looks like I might be getting somewhere.. Bought myself a cable tracer from Ebay (£18) and traced the relay feeds back to the under bonnet fuse box, where they are attached to a separate block; http://i63.tinypic.com/50qfjl.jpg Pulling this forward reveals that it has fusible links front &P rear, which appear to have well, fused... http://i66.tinypic.com/34ywfg0.jpg Replacement is £100+ from main stealer, so bagged one for £22 from Ebay: http://i64.tinypic.com/35ksoz8.jpg Will test fans individually first to make sure they are not shorted, hence the excess current.. Pics attached of box/links. Hope this helps others! Mike

Thanks, there are a few maxi fuses in the engine box, look like a pain to get to though :( Mike

Hi, yes I've checked the handbook, fuse 1 is for the fans & ECU etc, BUT it's for the "low current" supply that activates the relays, what I'm looking for is a fuse for the high current side of those relays, which I would expect to be around at least the 50amp size.. Mike

Hi all, Wondering if anyone has come across this before? My 08' 2.0Hdi had the A/C regassed yesterday after I replaced the (holed) condenser, the A/C was inop when I purchased the van last week. Anyway, A/C is great now - BUT I noticed that the radiator cooling fans were not coming on at all when the A/C was on, which they should do. So a bit of investigation revealed the following; Both fans work fine when connected direct to 12v.Both fans earths are sound.All 3 relays in pack fixed to slam panel operate as they should, opening and closing with A/C demand.There is no 12v supply to the "switched" contacts on any of the relays.Supplying the "dead" side of the relays with 12v, causes the fans to operate perfectly, switching on and off with the relays.I've also got access to a SnapOn Modis Ultimate, and although I can operate the fans via OBD, just the relays close, no fans actually spin as there is no 12v to the relays.So, I'm thinking there must be a fuse somewhere that covers the main high current supply to the fans, but where, I cannot fathom. I've downloaded every workshop manual and wiring diagram I can find, but cannot see it.. Anyone got an idea where I should be looking? Thanks in advance for any replies.. Mike

Hi all, Just joined, as have replaced my ageing, but reliable Dispatch with a "new" model 2.0 Hdi 120. Had van for a week or so, and it's a high miler (195,000) BUT has been fastidiously maintained and driven by one person since new, so actually looks and drives like a much younger/newer van. Hopefully I'll be giving more advice than I ask for, as a qualified and experienced mechanic! Regards.. Mike
