I noticed my aircon was not working when the car was at idle (sitting in traffic) and decided to get the aircon recharged, this did not cure the problem.

Made some progress with testing the Electronic Fan Control Module (EFCM) thanks to some advice from the guy that sells them on eBay.

Thanks WEYBOAT you were spot on with your analysis of your fan fault. Just followed your tests and restored my fans back to life, I also had a broken wire. To help further the fan control module violet wire is in the far left hand ECM plug looking from the front of the car at pin number D4. The camshaft position sensor wire is in the middle plug at pin A1. Like you I only found 2 Violet wires. Good stuff. |

Yes, had the same problem and it was that purple wire - apparently quite a common problem with the earlier models - must have been a brittle batch that they used. Tattoos - Why would you choose to look like the wall of a public toilet? |

I appreciate that this is quite an old post but I have the same issue with the violet wire. Would I be right in assuming that you have to remove the windscreen scuttle to get access to the ECM plug? I can't find any details anywhere on how you remove this. Many thanks. |

Ours jtwas broken at the fan end. I now have a Santa Fe so can’t have a peep and send you exact location. Tattoos - Why would you choose to look like the wall of a public toilet? |

Many thanks for this advice. I carefully unwound the insulation starting at the cooling fan end until I found the issue. The violet wire had been damaged close to the lowest tie by the fan. I was able to strip and solder to repair and both fans now work as they should. |

Well done, it would appear to be quite a common fault especially near to the fans Tattoos - Why would you choose to look like the wall of a public toilet? |
