It probably has a fuse in the underhood fuse/relay box. Look at the underside of the lid for fuse/relay ID?
The rad fan 'relay' is a solid state device fastened to the left frame rail under the air cleaner/battery area with 2 screws.
I believe that the 2 heavier wires to the device can be jumped and if the fan then works, the relay is likely defective.

Thank you very much!

I´ll check it tomorrow and also jump the fan, should be OK.

I think a first generation mini-van has the fan relay mounted on the inside driver's side fender and this vehicle may be old enough to use fusible links. You may need to refer to a manual for the year to check this out. I believe the 3.0's in a mini first came on the scene in late 1987.

They used fusible links until 94. You need to cut open the wiring harness, find the bad link and splice in a fuse holder. If it's a 10 gauge wire use a 30 amp fuse. I've done this on three of our early models.

Strike what I said about the solid state relay. I was thinking this was a 1996.

 

[Kevin1990]

OK!

It should work if i just follow the wires from the fan motor to the wiring harness right?
I mean just to find the right relay etc.

Thanks!

I have a 93, Voyager, 3.0.
On driver's side under the hood, on the top of side fender, you will see 7 relays and 2 more are on passenger side
When I changed mine, fan relay, I was looking at the color's of wires going into a fan and into a relay.
On my car, fan relay was 3rd from dash-board, or 4 from front, on driver's side

I´ll check it right now, should be the relay or a fuse, jumped the fan, works fine.

 

[Kevin1990]

Just checked it.....hmm.....i put out the fan, disconncted the relay (yes, third one, thanks ) jumped the fan - OK
Cleaned out every connector and checked the wires, everything OK.
I knocked the relay a few times (carefully), now it works.

The Voyager just runs outside to warm up, hope the fan´s starts working at 90 °C....

Strange, maybe just a worn relay?

 

[Kevin1990]

Works....interesting.....could it be a "worn" relay?

I´ll replace it, of course, but fuse links are OK, fan´s OK, coolant temperature sensor OK....relay´s working now...

I've had those relays act like that. Over the years the contacts get pitted and eventually burned. Then they become intermiittant.
One time I had an AC compressor that would not kick on. It wasn't the compressor relay, but the fan relay had become intermittant. On the vehicle I was working on (1990 LeBaron), the fan relay had to close before the compressor would kick on. I simply tapped the fan relay with a screwdriver and the AC system started working along with the fan starting up.

I'd recommend changing the fan relay to avoid problems in the future.

You welcome, glad I could be of some help in this forum.

 

[Kevin1990]

New relay and temperature sending unit is on it´s way (gauge wasn´t working correct)

Thanks again for helping, really appreciate it!
