can anyone offer advice? The cooling fan has stopped running at high speed, will only run slow speed (not ideal in this weather).

Is this a resistor problem or fuse?

Also having problems with the temp gauge periodically jumps all over the place.... thermostat or temp sensor?

Thanks!

Hi Jenko -

Posted a reply to Winnie - associated problem - you may also want to check the rad cap - when it doesn't seal properly, the cooling system will fail...

If it were me I'd do the following:

-Take off the connector at the fan switch.
-Test the wiring here and see if both fan speeds work, you know that the switch is the problem or a connector issue
-After this I would suspect the wiring or the relay. You could test out the relay if you know what to do :).
