2.8 ie biturbo wiring diagram

[Marco07]

Hi, does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 2.8ie biturbo? The one in the car manual I have is definitely not matching my car.

Specifically the cooling fans and AC. It's permanent live wiring for the fans but not for the AC and I am struggling to work out how the AC brings the fans on when the AC is not permanent live. I have other questions but all will probably be cleared up with a wirning diagram. (Factory closed atm otherwise I would be asking them.)

Thank you to anyone that can help me.

No diagram, but if it's a permanent live, they must have a switched earth....

Switched earth for normal fan operation which is linked with temperature sensor. But fans operating for AC is ignition on for live. So must be two relays for fans. Correct?

Each fan has separate fuse but one fan is drawing twice as many Amps. Fan must be faulty. Yes?

*Possibly* but the thing about relays is that you can have multiple triggers to switch them on. All you need is to put 12v on the coil. So I would suggest 'maybe correct'

'Plausible' Is current being measured when they are both running at the same rate.


I'm going to be very 'precise' in my answers to this. Not being stroppy, but outside of my field of expertise (such as it is) so trying to be really precise. My original post was intended to help you to look at things that may be helpful
