If your on about the fan which comes on when you switch the engine off then this is the same problem i had. I fiddled with the fuse box on top of the battery and i was able to make it come back on again but after a while it would stop working. I eventually took the fuse box off and cleaned the contacts inside, where I found some plastic had melted between the contacts which was causing the fan to be intermitant. Since i have done this i have had no problems. Hope it helps.

not sure if its the fan its like a little motor that sits on top of the rad on the left hand side.sounds like a pump of some sort.but il try that aswel mate, thanks for the response!

I think that motor is a kind of electric water pump which keeps going to cool the car down after its turned off as the water pump is off then also

probably corroded terminals..

be on the safe side and get a new fuse holder from dealer - 10 mins to replace -

Its doesnt sound like the fuse holder is the problem as he said its the motor on the top of the radiator not the fans

the fuse's in the holder(top of battery) also linked to the secondary water pump - mine did the same - i took the fuse out, pushed in back in and worked for a short time but then stopped -

Oh i never knew the 2 were connected

so buy a new fuse box then. will clean it out an get back to every1 see if it makes a diffrence.if not wil have to be a new pump.

Check the fuse box first before going out and buying a new one mate
