electric fan

  • Wy is my fan running when I have the key ignition mode meaning just before start? It is also running constant when the engine is running, cold or warm! The car is from -91, is it suppose to act like this?

  • Hi, my ac is on, when I put the roller in 0 it stops. Thanks for sorting this out for me, but my friend has a -92 and his fan is not in motoin until the engine need some extra cool air! Diffrent systems?

  • Your friend will likely find the resistor attached to the frame of the electric fan defective. This is a very common mode of failure. This resistor reduces the power to the fan when conditions are within specs (its specs are around 0.5 Ohm/100W - very expensive from BMW).

  • Sorry for resurrecting this old thread but it's related.


    My fan has started to become noisy, anyone opened and fixed the bearings?
    Or is a replacement the only way with these?


    Looks like an E36 (not Z3) would fit so they should not be too difficult to find in any case.
