Cooling Fan

Post by Hudders »

I ran an over-ride circuit a few years ago so i could run the fan whenever i thought it needed it. I tapped into the wiring on the sensor and ran a switch to the handlebars.
After a couple of years of it working fine, the fan now comes on first thing, even when it's cold. ive unplugged the switch, thinking the switch was shorting out but it carries on running. I'vr pullled all the wiring off of the sensor and it's STILL running.

Any one else had this problem and know what it could be?

check the block connector under the tank that powers the fan. i had an issue where the terminals inside a connector melted together allowing a continuous feed...but mine was to the ignition so i couldnt turn the bike off :retard:
