After the engine has cooled down to some extent, you can drive continuously at medium speeds to the nearest workshop. In this case, observe the temperature display or the signal light.
Idling and slow driving are dangerous for the engine, as there is hardly enough air flow through the radiator fins.
Instruction. In older machines, the radiator fan thermal switch often fails. Practice has shown that this switch should be replaced prophylactically when the car is 6-8 years old.
Troubleshooting
Remove both connectors or the double connector from the thermal switch.
Attach the contact tongues to each other or connect with a piece of wire.
If the fan now starts to work, it means that the thermal switch (thus excluded from the current circuit) has a malfunction.
To continue driving, connect the connectors from the switch using the so-called distribution plug, into which both connectors are plugged. Otherwise, the connecting cable must be well fixed in the double plug.
To prevent free-hanging wires from causing a short circuit, they must be reinforced with adhesive tape.
If the connection of the contacts of the thermal switch does not help, you need to check: maybe its fuse is out of order?
If the fuses are good, the fan motor is checked.
Remove the plug on the electric motor and instead connect the auxiliary wire from the positive battery terminal to the red or red-black wire.
The contact of the brown or brown-yellow wire is connected to the negative terminal of the battery.
If the fan still does not rotate, then the fan motor is defective and should be replaced.
If the fan is running, you should check the plugs, as well as all the connectors leading from the thermal switch and the electric fan.
You can drive if the radiator fan is powered directly from the battery and constantly rotates.
Instruction. If emergency transfers have been made, one of the connections must be disconnected at the end of the trip, otherwise the fan motor will run until the battery is discharged.
