seems no one knows?????????? i've just joined so i hope there some people who can help. i could do with some help as i've got a radiator fan thats not coming on.

Hi all, I am new to the forum after purchasing a lovely 2003 3L auto s-type, been running the car just local and find it a very nice ride. I went on a longer run the other day and spotted the temp gauge rising towards the red, I pull over and quickly looked inside the engine, I notised that the fan had not come on? Any way I turned off and let the engine cool down, whilst it was cooling down I checked all the fuses just in case. I went to a local garage who pluged their code reader in but said they had no info on the fault that came up and it would need a full check over. I have been there with other cars and it gets very expensive so I was looking for some practical advice on where to start, I am capable of following curcuit diagrams and doing most repairs. Is there a way of disconecting the fan motor and giving it 12 volts then move backwards thro the system so any advice would be welcomed. thank you in advance Patrick
