It is more convenient to perform work on a viewing ditch or overpass.
Removal and inspection
1. We prepare the car for work (see «Preparing the car for maintenance and repair»).
2. Remove the engine mudguard and crankcase protection (if installed).
3. Having released the latch, we disconnect the block of the wiring harness of the additional resistor of the electric fan.
4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws securing the additional resistor.
5. We take the bracket with the block to the side and remove the resistor.
6. Visually verify the integrity of the spiral, the absence of charring and other damage.
7. Using an ohmmeter, we check the additional resistor for a broken spiral.
If a malfunction is detected, replace the resistor.
Installation
We install an additional resistor in the reverse order of removal.
