    I noticed on a recent drive that my cooling fans in my F40 were not coming on. I tried to get them on this morning. hoping there was a switch installed somewhere that would bring them on. They still didnt come on.

    Aside from the two 25 amp fuses, the two relays and the switch in the radiator, what should one look for, as a quick fix. Any help would be appreciated.

    i discovered that just by turning the AC on, the radiator fans have to come on, also touching the two wires going into the radiator switch when engine is cold and ignition on, the fans have to come on. If not, that switch is bad. I am waiting for a couple of hours until car cools down, and making those tests.

    Anyone with suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    i tested the fans by shorting the two leads into the switch and they came on like a champ...hence a new switch is needed. Just in case anyone has this problem in the future. Part otrdered and should be here tomorrow.
