sir am confused why are you reluctant to fix electrical issues of your car. why fan is not automatic after thermostat is in place.

parts are available brand new from any suuzki parts shop if you buy thermostat valve for suzuki van and auto fan switch for ALTO VXR

[miqdadkanani]

Not reluctant at all. Due to the sudden engine issue that came up, i have utilised a lot of my office leaves so now i can work only weekends. Sunday markets are off so thats only saturday when i can work full time

[miqdadkanani]

Auto Fan switch is installed but fan is not working which means either the switch is faulty or something else. For that i need to unbolt the switch and then test it myself.

[miqdadkanani]

However, i dont drive the car at all until at least all the mechanical/electrical issues are fixed

[nnabeel]

Bhai,

the electrics was the first priority after engine rebuild and then ac work. but u have done ac work and now u r after T stat.

[miqdadkanani]

It was like this:
engine rebuild,
then all rlectrical wiring and switches were installed, and then AC work was done.

But T stat and auto fan switch was obviously left to Irshad's availability.

Anyways.
Trying to manage all the things: budget, my time, parts availability, mechanic's availability

Nobody got the actual manual..

Search in this thread you will find every thing regarding temp, wiring etc

[miqdadkanani]

This thread has loads and loads of info. I just spent 1 hour going thriugh the thread in my office. Lol.

But anyways, auto fan switch temperature which i was looking for is mentioned differently by different contributors. Some say 92, some 95 and others 100+-5. The one i was looking for on an australian website with genuine parts said thr OEM spec is thermo valve at 82 and fan at 90.

Anyways, will do a thermometer test InshAllah tomorrow and post here the updates.

The factory fan kick in temperature of Pakistan assembled Khyber is 98c and kick out at 93c or something

The thermostat regulates minimum of 82c

If your fan is not switching on, most probably you have a sensor in place of a switch, they look similar but are not,

You can even make a suzuki mehran/fx item work here. But remember the mehran switch needs to be in radiator as its lower temperature, and is located in radiator for this reason.

Let me share it

fan switch can be tested with a DMM. connect 1 probe to positive pin . other to switch body if it beep switch is faulty, nothing happens then proceed lit up a candle and warm up the body at dmm beep thats' the switch 'ON' position for fan to kick-in. you can use a digital thermometer to read temp at kick-in,

there are several you tube videos for such tests.

[miqdadkanani]

Yep. Planning to test it today InshAllah

[capsat]

also check radiator & hoses for any weeping leakage.
am surprised why umair at quick cool did the job of ac installation on your vehicle when fan was not on auto and wiring issues were not in order. That's very highly unlikely way of that shop. no matter what premium you pay they will not jeopardize their equipment & credibility. very strange.

[miqdadkanani]

Sure.

Sir why are you all assuming that wiring wasnt intact. After the engine got rebuild, the car straightaway went for wiring work and everything was installed except auto fan which was delayed by a few days to check leakages in the pipes. Only after did i go for AC work.

[nnabeel]

because of quick money.

[nnabeel]

u can use mehrans switch also which kicks at 98 and cools at 92-93. but u need to place it on the bottom of the radiator.

[miqdadkanani]

I prefer not to make alterations in a newly bought expensive radiator. The top and bottoms are solid and we dont know if the machinist would puncture some other thing as well such as a fin etc while working.

Anyways, guys lets wait until today evening when ill test the current switch

[miqdadkanani]

Auto fan switch is found to be the culprit. No continuity signal despite temperature crossing 100.

Remove the pot, And place it directly over the fire, It will work fine
