Hey Guys
Recently picked up a 2011 800 Outlander and just started to go to limp mode cause of over heat. The fan was not running to cool it down, fuse is good and relay is good and rad is full. I believe its interment because at times I can ride for an hour before it happens and I've heard the fan running, I've put 12v to the fan and runs fine, the temp sensor on the block seems ok I had 0 ohms when cold and seemed to rise when the engine was warring up but hard to get a accurate reading because difficult to get the meter probes in there. So I suspect a wiring issue is what I have, and since working on a hot engine is no fun..lol.. does anyone know the resistance to use as a temp sensor to fool the system and turn the fan on so i can search for the problem ? I prefer not to just install a separate switch for the fan.
Thanks
