Hi all, hoping you can help!
Today I had an aircon regassing service round to do three cars, the MGF was found to still have gas in and was pressure tested - all was fine. However, once refilled and tested, there was a shout of "Turn it off quickly!" from the operator. It would appear that the fan wasn't cutting in and so the system had heated up hitting 300psi pressure. Luckily, it didn't blow the system.
Now I'm sure that the fan was working a few weeks ago as I checked it after doing a radiator change - switched the aircon on and the fan worked. Now there's nothing. I've checked the fuses in both fuse boxes and they're fine. I also checked the relay behind the fuse box under the bonnet to find that there isn't one, just a black plastic and metal bridge piece that looks made to bridge two connections. Is this thing normal or has it been bodged in the past? I've heard you can use the relay for the electric windows to test the fans which I'll give a go, but I can't work out why it appeared to work the other week and now doesn't and why this weird bridge is there!
Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated!
