Need Help!! Installed a new temp sensor in bottom right corner of the radiator after eliminating the fan being the problem. By passed the fan and it will run of hours just have to leave it on the whole time i ride. is there a relay or anything else that could make the senor not kick in?

 

I also am having fan problems myself. I have done some searching and after reading some of the threads I see that there is a sensor or switch on the head that you could look into. From what I uderstand this also contols the fan. I just replaced the fan on my 500 and it is fine until I put it under water and then it stops and the hot light appears, when I get out of the water its back to normal?

 

Before I started undoing all the wiring wanted to make sure there was not any switches or other electrial components that could cause these problems. If you find that switch let me know and vise versa. thanks for the reply.

 

Hey I got home this evening and looked at my bike and found that sensor, it is on the left hand side of the moter, it is screwed into the side with 2 wires comming out and a connection sortly after.

 

if you unhokked the wire to the sensor then the fan should come on. its hard on fans when there running under water or in the mud.

 

I am glad that you said that because I had mine cut off when it went under water and the temp light came on. Whats up with that!

 

I had the senor disconnected and the fan hooked up in its normal plug and got nothing. hooked the fan into another 12v plug and the fan runs constant. The fan lead plugs into a plug that comes off the same feed for my headlights, but the headlights r still working. Do u think it could be the lead off of the headlight plug that could be not working. Sorry I'm not trying to confuse anyone, I'm having trouble keeping the leads strait. not sure how to check for current in the plugs, so I can eliminate them. this has been going on for about the last month now, and the dealer wants 200 off the top to find the problem plus parts. thanks for yalls reply anything helps.

 

for me w/out looking at the wiring or a diagram it would be hard to direct the next step sorry to say.

 

thanks stendori for thinkin bout it and checkin back in.

 

Well i found the problem and i almost scared to even tell yall!! I found a inline fuse block that was heatshrink wrapped, and one terminal had come loose. I put it on again and crimpped it and then wrapped the crap out of it with electrical tape. turned the bike on and the fan kicked on twice efore turning it off. Thanks for all yalls help guys..
