Hi All, Been a while since I visited. Haven't used my Wheeler much coz of some surgery but need it do to some spraying (I'm in Lawn Care business and have a spray rig for it - SLOW moving work - 4MPH)
Started it and after running a while it went into limp mode - fan not running and High temp light flashing.
Read a bunch of posts about it and did the following to Troubleshoot....
-Unplugged fan from harness and Put 12V directly to it - Nothing.
-Put a meter in the Harness side of the plug and let it idle for a LONG time - Finally got 14.3V out of the plug - took a while. So I guess the system is working and sending power to the fan.
-Used a screwdriver to try to spin the fan through the shroud. It is VERY hard to turn - kinda notchy - Is it supposed to spin freely? Or is there some kind of clutch in it?
- Shined a light on the blades and put power to it again hoping to see it jump a little - nothing - no movement at all
So.... Do I need a new fan? Is there any other Troubleshooting I should do before I buy a new one? Is it as hard as it looks to swap it out?
Thanks for any help - this place has always saved my A$$ when in trouble!!
