heater ??
« on: October 17, 2010, 06:07:31 am »
Dont have the truck running yet but I do have my power running and everything else. My question is this, if I just turn the key on without the truck running will my fan work? last night I turned the key on to do some work to my lights and I noticed that my fan wasn't working. So I thought maybe the truck has to be running for this? wasnt sure and cant start the truck for a bit yet as I still need fliuds and a rad etc...

Check your fuses and make sure you have power to the wire running to the fan. It should be running even with the engine off

As i have said before I am just starting to get the truck back together and m finding a ton of problems. I never drove this truck just bought it and tore it down. todays problem is my heater fan doesnt seem to be working so I have taken everything apart and have found the plug in the back of the controls is toast. The I tried to wire it direct to see if anything would work and nothing. have to try and find a new plug. Afetr that I tried my wipers and as you would guess no go. Haven't looked into that to much just find that up and gave up for tonight. just so ypou know i did check all the fuses and we are good to go. This truuck wiring was hacked up pretty bad before I got the truck. I am no pro when it comes to electrical but I am trying. If anybody has any input I am all ears.
