|
My little Lady has sit for 3 yrs while I've recouped from medical issues. I posted about this earlier but cannot find the posts so am re-posting. I've changed the spark plugs,(after spraying some Marvel Mystery Oil into the cylinders) new plug/coil wires, added Stabil to gas tank along with 5 gal of new super gas. Am wanting to change the cooling fan relay as I was having an overheating problem (the fan kicked in but temp was too high). I am having trouble getting the old relay out of the socket, whats the secret?? In my owner's manual it's shown as I (roman numeral) I also noticed quite a difference in the height of the old compared to the new. New relay is a Wherle #20-240-073. Any help this old guy would appreciate much.
Thanks
Jim

Need a bump on this. Anyone able to tell me how to remove this Fan Cooling Relay? Having trouble with my big, klutzy fingers gripping it.
Thanks…..Jim

Just wiggle it side to side while pulling up. Pry it up with a small pry tool or z shaped screwdriver if you need additional force. |

Grenadier….the relay under the dash next to the fuse panels. Roman numeral I, square shaped.
Jason C…..thanks for the thought on removing, will try with a small pry tool.
am wondering if it might be the relay on lower part of radiator? when I start it up the temp rises but it gets too hot before radiator cooling fans kick in and I need to shut it down which ain't good with it hot!!
Thanks guys

Try smacking the top of the relay when the engine starts to get hot to see if the relay is just sticking.

The part on the radiator that controls the fans on/off is the fan temp switch, its not a relay. You can test it by heating it in hot water while checking temp & for continuity. Compare your findings to the temp range on the switch. They do offer different temp ranges to make the fans come on earlier. |
