Can anybody tell me how to test Aux fan connector for power? About 2 weeks ago I rear ended somebody on the highway in my wifes 2005 X5 3.0 with 100k miles ( 5mph crash). The bumper clips near the fender broke, the mesh in the bumper, fog light covers shot out ,and bent my OEM bull bar a lil bit. I didn't think anything happened to the fan. Fast forward to this past Saturday. Wife left the truck running in the driveway with A/C on for 45 mins ( because she wanted to keep sons birthday cake cool
while everybody got ready for his party). Just as we were getting in the truck to leave, KABOOM, expansion tank exploded. We hurried toput everything in my BMW 3 series and went to the party.. I swapped out the tank and noticed the A/C doesn't blow cold when sitting at red light , or sitting in traffic. I rarely drive her truck so I don't know how long it has been like this. I tried testing lil plug with multimeter for 12v but came up with nothing) Is the lil plug that clips on top of shroud the power source ? Or is that a temp sensor? Is the Big plug below the lil one the power source? ( think wiring )I checked all of the fuses mentioned in other posts. Does anybody think the accident killed the fan? I just wanna be sure before I shell out $225 for a new fan. Thanks for the help .
