Yet another Omega problem. The garage have just pointed out that the fan is not cutting in until the temperature gauge reach 100 degrees. It has been the same since I bought the car. Apparently only 1 of the 3 Stages is working. Can anyone tell me what the problem is likely to be
-
Possibly the fan switch on the radiator :-/.
-
or possibly the fuse that controls the stages, this happened on my car (3.0 litre v6), the fan on the left hand side of the two in front of the air con condenser was the only one to ever come on at all and that wasnt until 97.5 degrees (on gauge). i posted on here and was told to check the fuses next to the battery, upon inspection there was a broken fuse which i replaced and now all is well so it would be worth having a look at those fuses ;) ;) ;)

Send my a PM with you email and I will send you 'The Fan Test' which checks everything.

What does/should the temperature needle read in normal operating conditions?
And how do I access the fan switch on the radiator?
Many thanks

It should be in the middle of the gauge for normal running, when it goes higher in traffic the engine fan should engage.
If you have 'aircon' with three fans they all have two speeds according to aircon and engine temperture.

Sounds suspicious. Mine has never been in the centre of the gauge but hovering around 100 - but not in the red though. I'm guessing this is wrong and indicative of the fan problem.
-
Yes far to hot, just sent an 'attachment' with the 'fan test', see how you go.

Help. Please reply asap as I have an electrician doing some checks for me.
Pins 4 & 5 work but we can't find the Primary and Secondary Therm Connector which we assume goes to the stat. Anyone know where they are?
Thank you
-
It appears as if the PDF relates to post-1998 models as the wiring colours are slightly different and there appears to be only one radiator switch.
The good news and it's all thanks to this forum and you guys is that all the electrical checks have been done so it appears that the fault lies with radiator switch.
Thank you so much.

Please look at the righthand side of the diagram ie "Primary Therostatic Switch" then below
"Secondary Thermostatic Switch",
if your car has 'aircon' this arrangement is the same since 1994 until 2004.

Thermostatic Fan Switch
I finally have the part. Do I need to disconnect anything to fit it? Is it a case of just unbolting the existing one and refitting the new one?
Thanks again..............
