Hi Alex

As Rob saw this year a bypass can be made with a length of wire with a pair of male Lucars (spade) connectors. Use it to join th 2 otter switch wires together and bypass the Otter. For safety make one with a 10 AMP line fuse. If the fan runs with no problem it's the Otter that's faulty, if the fan does not run with no problem it's the wiring and/or fan that's suspect. If you make your test lead about 3 feet long you can cable tie it under the left hand bonnet on a convenient location and when you stop and want to turn the fan off (it will run permanently like this) just pull the fuse. Simple and convenient emergency work around. Good luck.

Hi guys. Thanks.
Finally found my multimeter and tested resistance at otter which clarified that was knackered. Secondly power's heading into fan but not resulting in any fan movement. Then fan is making a crackling sound, which means it's knackered. Issue identified. It was the combo of issues that foxed me...

Well done you. Funny they call it "otter" when it's supposed to make it cooler.

Well done Alex always tricky when you have two faults in the same circuit, could well be the fan fault took the otter out by drawing excess current.

Many happy miles.
