HOW DO I CHECK TO SEE IF MY SCAVENGER FAN IS WORKING

You should hear it come on, if not lift up driver seat, you should find sensor on top of engine behind the handbrake, unplug clean contacts and re -insert. Scavenger fan will come on when engine bay becomes warm

Put a paper clip into said contacts - that'll bypass the sensor and the fan should come on.

Just been testing my scavenger fan,the sensor is a black plug under centre consul,just unplug it, switch ignition on and it should start to work after a few seconds,your heater plug light will probably flash on/off until you plug it back in to the sensor,i didn't need to use a paper clip on mine,so sensor must work opposite way

I thought I'd try the scavanger fan test method - unplugged the sensor wire and the fan DIDN'T come on

..........I connected the wires with a paperclip and the fan came on - removed the paperclip and the fan stayed on

until I reconnected the terminals to the sensor...................weird things these Bongo electrics
