I've replaced the thermostat switch in the radiator.

I've replaced the relay in the fuse box.

Still no fan when the engine gets hot.

I've tried bridging the terminals on the wire that goes to the thermostat switch. Nothing happens.

What do I do?

Also, are there supposed to be lights on the dashboard when the heated seats are in use? I don't notice any difference when I switch them on, no lights come on the dashboard, but I hear the relays under the seats clicking.

Any ideas?

Try cheching the resistor on the radiator (it is over-curent protection for the fan) - two white wires. I had this one broken on my car 2.0 T and the fan didn't go on.

I've had the fan wired directly to a switch on the dashboard and it worked fine. Would this have bypassed the resistor?

Someone told me about a resistor possibly causing the problem.

I'm not sure because I don't know how the switch is wired. Try to measure the resistor with a multimeter and you will know for sure!

Where *exactly* is this resistor?
