This past Tuesday I installed the flex-a-lite 270 on my truck and I can't get them to work. Yesterday I even went as far as buying a multimeter and taking all the wires off and rewiring it just to make sure it was right. I have trouble shot the best I could, but I still haven't found the problem. Any suggestions?

Is there any way to connect the wires from the fan straight to a 12v source----not going through any relays or switches or anything----then you would know for sure if it's the fan itself. ???

 

The very last thing I did was wire it straight to the battery and the efans did not come on. I figured that they should have came on.

 

sounds like the motor lost a winding, try sending it back or calling them. did you try ohming out the leads?

 

cpeapea, What sould the reading be when I put the multimeter on ohm? How can you tell if the motor lost a winding?

 

well being a brushed DC motor it might be a little tricky. depending on the windings the values could be different, the key should be that its shouldnt be really high like 300k or anything infact it shouldnt be above 100k probably. also the motor probably has a commutator, so you might try rotating it slowly as you ohm it to get all the individual winding values.

im sure you probably have hit the obvious spots already, like an inline fuse?

 

Thanks cpeapea, I'll check that out and the fuse was the last thing I put in after all the wiring was done. Thanks again.

 

no prob, i hope this helps
