Hyundai Accent 1.3 Overheating, need help diagnosing fault

By the way fuses have been check and are ok.

Most likely to be the thermostatic switch in the radiator, about 30mm across with two wires going to it, near the bottom of the radiator.

A high proportion of cars have the fan switch in the engine side of the radiator, usually low down, they may be screwed into the radiator or held in by a bayonet clip, there will be an electrical connector clipped on to the switch, usually this has two wires, pull the connector off and (with the ignition switched on) bridge the two connectors with an opened up paper clip or a set of tweezers (all metal ones) Take care as the fan should spin. If it runs then the fan switch is probably faulty. If it doesn't then you need to check whether the fan can run by directly connecting it to the battery.

I'm stumped now, I have checked, voltage from lead to fan 0v, next tried voltage from - on battery to fan 12v. I have not to my knowlege got a fan switch, I have a temp sensor and sender going into the themostat housing in the engine block.

Sorry using my email account, my gf before.

A smaller number of vehicles do not have a dedicated fan switch at all ! The fan switch-on is determined by the engine management system, which gets its info from the coolant temperature sensor. A few vehicles have the fan switch located on the engine.

I do not work on Hyundai vehicles (through choice) which is why I have had to answer in general terms.

In your situation you really need to consult a dealer to establish if and where it has a switch.

There is a relay, swapped that around so eliminated that.
