Sometimes the thermo switch gets stuck( happened to me) so I put a switch
(no) across the contacts on the thermo switch on the 
radiator and ran it to the cockpit under the dash so if it did not come on
at 185 I could manauly override it while driving.
Cheap saftey precaution.

Well there you go. More proof that nothing is ever NORMAL with Ferrari.

If it were my car, regardless of what was standard, I?d opt to make both
fans come on when the thermo switch turns on.

And Clyde, don?t forget how much hotter the air into the radiator because
when you turn on the a/c because of the heat from the condenser?..so I?m not
entirely convinced that turning on the a/c will help cooling the engine.

Here is the way US cars works

One fan one when temp gets to 185

Other fan fan comes on when A/C is turned on regardless if the temp is at
185 or not

This is the standard wiring 

This is why I tell everyone if your car starts to over heat I would turn on
the A/C which turns on the other fan

In victory you deserve Champagne

In defeat you need it!

I have my AC empty as I never used it and easier to take everything apart
without draining it and both my fans come on when hot,

no mods on my car  early GT4.

I don?t believe you?re correct.

However, I?ve never understood why the compressor doesn?t bring on both
fans?.it could only help!

Ok 

How hot did the car get temp wise?

If it went to 225 or higher you might have serious issues down the road 

Otherwise 

One fan comes on when the thermo switch hits 185 

The other fan only comes on when you switch on the A/C

By pass the circuit and put 12 volts to the fans 

If they spin most likely it a blown fuse

In early 3 series cars you should change clean the fuse box yearly

I use to put that stud that comes in the box which absorbs moisture in my
fuse box 

And ECU compartment as well 

Also rotate your relays yearly

Hi Guys

After a spirited drive last weekend, my 85 308 developed a serious overheat
problem.  After stopping, I found the fans are not running.  Thus, this
weekend will be troubleshooting?

 

Can you verify ?

 

1)      If I short the thermostat connector pins, should the fans turn on?

2)      Do both fans always operate, or is there a mode where only 1 fan
would turn on?

3)      There are no other components in the fan circuit, just the
fans/thermostat connection/elect relay ? correct?

4)      Which relay is the fan relay?

 

Thanks,

Mark
