Is it overheating then? They usually only come on in high temperatures or if sitting in heavy traffic for ages.

If the radiator isn't getting hot then you may have a thermostat failure or a blockage.
get a new one from a quality supplier

as previously said the temp gauge should be at least 3/4 and the van very hot for it to cut in

it can be deceiving how hot the rad needs to be before the fan cuts in! if your testing make sure the heater is on cold whilst building up heat.


did you fit a good quality fan switch? just cos its new dosent mean its a good one!
