some one may have it hard wired....does your tep guage read correct?

Hi, i believe it does as ive been doing work to stabalise the temps - they were fluctuating quite a bit. i cant see any hard wiring anywhere.

does the XJ have A/C?

zs&tas

it does have aircon, which funily enough i have pulled the plug at the compressor (pump) as it was kicking in now and then when i didnt want it too. i dont need aircon in the uk ! so i havnt looked any further than that.
what are you thinking ? -thanks by the way

Well the electric fan is an auxiliary fan. It is used when the a/c is on.

try pulling the plug at the pressure switch.

I have the opposite problem, haha, my aux fan never turns on, haha

The A/C Clutch cycles anytime the heater/air control is ON. Drives ya nuts Huh?? I unplug mine in the winter months.

Sounds like someone direct wired your fan and then pulled the fuse to shut it off. Likely a bad temp sensor and they have it jumpered !

lol i also have this problem. so from what you guys are saying the electric fan will only run when the a/c is on? where is the fuse for it under the hood or in the cabin with the other fuses?

No your fan should turn on once the Coolant switch reaches 220-230 Ish...so you may have a faulty Coolant Switch or a bad Fan...or a wiring issue..and then there is always the fuse and relay.
