Cooling fan relay

[PGunn]

Where is it located on a Gen2 anyone know?

i will look maybe i can find it

Don't kill yourself looking for it. I have looked in the service manual and it looks like there is one but I can't find any mention of it in the service manual. I would be real surprised if the fan temperature switch is all that controls it without one. I am working on adding an oil cooler and would like to use the radiator fan to also cool the oil when or if needed. I have tried to chase the fan leads back but I can only go back so far.

Thanks for looking though.....

Looking at schematic, there does not appear to be a relay for the fan.

Look in lower right corner.

Ok I see what you mean I was looking at a different schematic and should have zoomed in a lot more. I am surprised there isn't a relay in there the switch must have a good amperage rating.

Thanks....

i never found one but by looking at the schematic the thermal switch runs by the 10 fuse now i have to figer out how to get the cover back on over the fuel pump and over flow bottle i cant get it to go on right i think a coil wire is stopping it ill figure it out later today

Looking at the wiring diagram that Dingy posted, I note that there is a filter on the power to the cooling fan motor. Does anyone know where this is physically located on an RSTD?

 

I suddenly have interference from the fan in a J&M CB.....

 

Many thanks....

This is located very near the fan. The leads from the fan motor go to a sub harness that is about 8" long. This sub harness contains the choke for the fan.

 

See attached PDF cut from RSV service manual. Items 8 & 9.

Thanks Dingy! Will slide under there tomorrow and see if I have a loose connection that is causing the sudden interference....

Attached are a couple of pictures I have from ebay.

 

One with yellow stick pointing to it is broke up. Other picture partially shows choke at bottom of fan.

 

I think it will be along the left front frame rail, just behind radiator, but this is a guess, judging from pictures of my in progress RSV Hybrid wiring harness.
