If this still fails to turn on the fan i suggest you turn off the engine for now and consider troubleshooting other aspects of the cooling fan electrical system including the low speed fan relay. Our initial testing should provide a determination of where the fault lies.

The third picture shows what it looked like with the e30 condensor aux fan still installed. In addition the aux fan controller mount optional allows you to retain the stock controller to run the fan on auto as an oem style would. I don t have a mechanical fan due to space restrictions of the swap in the e30 engine bay. I have the spal 16 pusher with an e46 m3 rad.

No aux fan on the m54. The n15 design e46 m3 electric fan mount is a great way to add a 16 spal electric fan because it s so easy to install. You can test that the fan is receiving power with a multimeter you ll want to test between the thicker red and brown iirc wires on the aux fan connector. How the system functions non modulated fans most models through late 90s.

Ever since my accident 4 years ago i ve been running without an aux fan haven t experienced any issues what so ever regarding overheating etc. If 12v is present then you ve got a bad speed control box on the fan assembly and will need to replace the aux fan. Go to my website and bmw forum.
