   unsure if correct section
   
   but basically i converted my mk2 furio to a vtr engine from a mk1 vtr (i thought i had a crossover furio and got told i bought a crossover engine but it seems i was totally wrong)
   
   i had to get a crossover loom to get engine running
   anyway it now starts (has flat battery though) but my fan doesnt kick in at all
   the fan is a mk2 vtr fan but i have a mk1 vts radiator
   could anyone tell me were im going wrong or what i need to do to sort it
   
   i cant drive it anywere its off road and i have no license

   Doe's the fan have the right plug thats on the loom?
   
   So it's connected?
   
   My fan plug on my engine loom was different to my fan, so i had to wire in a switch to the dash.

   Ahh, That's how mine was.
   
   So i just Cut the yellow and red wire at the back of the fan.. Did away with all the other wiring/plugs..
   
   live from fuse box 15amp to switch inside.
   Switch to Live on fan - yellow.
   Then earthed the red wire.
   
   Bingo, works.

   oh thanks mate also while you here hah
   
   my dials stopped working aswell when did conversion
   i wasnt too bothered about that really tho apart from the water temp gauge i needed due to fan
   
   so i bought an aftermarket gauge and that doent seem to work either. it powers up and so on but the temp doesnt go up
   does the earth/ground go th the battery or the engine earth (the instuctions dont say)
