Re: Thermo fans
I know the smaller one has something to do with your air con pressure. The larger one should be controlled by a sensor / computer. I'm sure someone can verify / correct me on the above.

Re: Thermo fans
Thermo/radiator fan is on the passenger side of the FTO. It is operated by the ECU. The ECU gets it's engine temp readings via the Engine Coolant Temp Sensor.
So the Engine coolant temp sensor reads the engine/coolant temp, sends the readings to the ECU, the ECU then turns the fan on/off as required.
The ECU sends the fan on/off signal through the Radiator Fan Relay (as pictured), the fan receives battery power through a fusible link (Fuse #13 as pictured).
