Fans not working: overheating
Hey guys, at a bit of a loss here.
Ash's S2000 is overheating on idle due to the fans not kicking in.
When the car is moving and there's airflow across the rad it's fine which makes me believe that there's flow in the system and there's no air locks
Fuse has been changed
Relays have been swapped for a working one
Both fans have been swapped for working ones
Don't think it's thermostat due to both hoses being hot and temps being fine when driven.
Could be water pump?
Could be faulty temp sensor on rad?
Things that haven't been checked yet.
Coolant level at stone cold (would have been first thing I checked but car was already hot when issues arose)
Penny for your thoughts?

Does the fan switch have a single or double wire?(I really can't remember) if it's two wires can't you just bridge them,if it comes on then it's the switch right?? Or am I totally wrong?

From what I recall on mine it's 2 wires,
We'll have a go tomorrow before trying to swap them un-necessarily
