Default Overheating Problem

My MY99 Turbo has started to overheat and I have noticed that the radiator fan isn't cutting in when it is supposed to. I have checked all the fuses and they are fine, has this happened to anyone else, and if so is there an easy fix?
The fan doesn't appear to be ceased.

Help!!

I had a similar problem with my STI8 try the connectors to the fans are plugged in 1st as they hadnt been on mine and not noticed at its PDI.

Failing that maybe one of the relays has blown!

All the best.

ive had a coolant temp switch fail on my car.It was really sending the car mental.
The gauge was reading normal but steam was coming from everywhere.
The switch was £23 from subaru.

Hope this helps

Hi Andy

If you join the 2 green plugs under the dash and turn on the ignition the fan will run. (Test cycle)

Cheers Red.
