Tech Tips, Tech Questions / Re: Bent pushrod in Duke

The coolant fan can run even with the HVAC turned off.  As you probably know, the fan grounds through the coolant fan switch.  I don't remember where it's located on the Duke, but I think it's in or next to the thermostat housing.  Should be a single wire sensor. 

If you're testing the circuit by using both wires at the fan, that may not work due to the ground coming through a closed sensor at high temperature.  It would have to be grounded to the chassis somewhere up front.

Hi Charlie,
I unplugged the fan & used a test light & can't get power to the fan. I was going to cut the plug off of a parts car to test the fan but the only '84 I have here is missing the plug. I did try with the AC on but no change.
So it all runs through the hivac? Guess I need to pull that & see if I can find something there...
Thanks,

Not mine.  On FB Market Place.  He says he also has a Buick with a 3800 SC to go along with the Fiero.  Both for $1500.

Could be the hvac control unit in the dash or the ballast resistor.   Have you tried applying power direct to the motor?

OK so I got the Indy put back together. Thanks Charlie for telling me about Todd for a used head after I broke the original one trying to remove a valve seal. https://thefierofarm.com/
Now I can't get the radiator fan to run. Swapped relays, checked fuses, jumped the sending unit plug & just can't seem to get power to the fan. Any suggestions?
