Dragging this thread back up, I ran a diagnostic and actuator testvia Planet on my HDi today (why not as I was investigating/clearing some fault codes). Tested the cooling fans, and I understand the Planet test is an actual run of the fans not just a relay test.
Well, I could hear the relays clicking behind the grill, but no fan running on low nor the high speed test.
Firstly, can someone confirm for me the fan test on Planet is the actual running of the fans, not just the relays....
Secondly, would the failure of the fans cause my A/C not to work?
It worked fine late Autumn last year, freezing cold if you wanted it. Now, it 'attempts' to cool the air, as the air is cooler than a non A/C air would put out. But, the compressor does not kick in (no rev drop/pick-up when switching ON A/C).
Obviously, I need to sort the cooling fan before anyone mentions this as a priority!
