I'm going to replace both radiator fan switches to try to cure the fans continually running once they start up[hopefully it's not the water pump that's not up to the job],looking on e-bay there appears to be two types of top switch-one with a two pin connector and one with a three pin-having looked at my car it's a three pin so that's fair enough. Question is-to save me grovelling under the car too often-are the bottom switches like the top one and a choice of either two or three pin connectors?

Well answering my own question it would seem all bottom switches have three pin connectors,however I now find there are three or four different part numbers So with prices ranging from just over £4 to somewhere above £20 how do I tell which is the correct one?

Bound to be the dearest one, sods law.

According to ECP[using my reg number] they do the bottom switch by Beru at just over £17[but they don't have any in stock] a seller on e-bay is doing a Kerr Nelson one at just over £4 which they say is equivalent to the ECP one but yet at the same time say it doesn't match with the chassis number

What's the Beru part number?

[Enceladus]

I wouldn't rely on the ECP application list. It's frequently wrong. Always cross reference parts to the proper GM numbers.

Are the any markings on the old switch?
What colour(s) is/are the plastic part? Apparently they're colour coded. That might give information to identify the exact part required.

Don't know the Beru part number ECP only seem to give their own stock number.The original switch on my car went when the radiator was replaced so I don't know the colour of the plastic on that.The one on the car now is a new one I bought[believing them to be all the same I just bought more or less the first one I came across]has brown plastic-as does the Beru one at ECP-where the Kerr Nelson one on e-bay appears to be black plastic.The top switch I also bought new for the radiator change and I know both the original and the one I bought is blue with a three wire connector.
