Thanks Bear,
I might have to check the fan relay and the fan itself then. I suspect one of them may have failed. The fuse I replaced covers the fan and compressor I think so that should be good. '09 Puma 110 CSW XS |

Just to muddy it up a bit, my electric fan on the front only comes on when the AC is on *and* it is very hot. For expample driving slowly off road in Sardinia. Then it is on and off again quite a lot. Has dont this since new, and seems to be thermostatic.

DeeEss that makes some sense as I've also found this on another forum (all be it for discos) but I assume they are very similar systems.
"Engine cooling fan control While the A/C system is on, operation of the electric engine cooling fan, to assist refrigerant condenser operation, is determined by a combination of vehicle speed and external air temperature. When cooling fan operation is required, the ATC ECU outputs a cooling fan request to the ECM, which then energises the cooling fan relay. The cooling fan request is output if vehicle speed is 50mph (80 km/h) or less while the external air temperature is 28 °C (82 °F) or more. The request is cancelled, and the cooling fan switched off, if either the vehicle speed increases to 62mph (100 km/h), or the external air temperature decreases to 25 °C (77 °F)".
