tjsmudger 2 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Fan module? Has water penetrated the clear case, fuses goosed. Happened to mine, only my module didn't have the protective cover on the fuses? Had to purchase a new module. Link to post Share on other sites
ginga_d 0 Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Yeah there no plastic cover and coolant spilt onto it. Fuses proper jammed in I can't see if they blown or not Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Yeah there no plastic cover and coolant spilt onto it. Fuses proper jammed in I can't see if they blown or not I'd hav thought if your fuse has gone, the circuit would be broken and wouldn't work at all! If coolant has spilt into it, and your fuses are jammed, I'd expect more damage to the components in the module, resulting in the problem you have now Link to post Share on other sites
