    Hi friends,

    One of the three radiators fans of my 412 is running non-stop. The three fans have individual relay and fuse.

    When I remove the relay of this one he continue to run, but when I remove the fuse of this one, he stop.

    Do you have an idea about this mystery ?

    Which relay are you removing? G, H, I, or J? I don't have a 412 wiring diagram, but (based on how other F systems work) you could remove relay G, and the RH radiator fan would still run when the coolant is hot. However, your comment: "One of the three radiators fans of my 412 is running non-stop" sounds like someone has made some wiring modifications -- unless you have the AC "on" (then the RH radiator fan should probably run even when the coolant is cold).

    No worries, Herve -- we like easy fixes like that ;). Some F models have more of a history of overheating troubles (so the fan wiring can get modified/messed with as an attempted "solution"), but I wouldn't put the 412 on that list (so your initial post surprised me some).
