Someone on the forum wrote in an issue related to the electromegnetic fan not working probably:
"With the car not running and cold, I went ahead and shorted the magnetic clutch connectors with jumper wires to the battery and was met with a sweet "CLICK!" The fan clutch held very firm as well- so I can rule out the magnetic clutch itself."
I know I sound very naive but what do you connect the wires from the battery to the fan or sensor to check the clutch like he did? I mean you have the red wire positive and the black negative coming from the battery. And then there is the sensor with three poles and two wires running into the fan. One wire with a head with two hole goes on the poles that are next to each other and one wire has one head with only one wire for the pole by itself. So if I wanted to chech the clutch like that person did which wire from the battery would I run and to which head (wire) or pole would I run that into? Also I read here in the forum a lot of people talking about hard wiring the temp sensor for the electromagnetic fan to work all the time. I still don't know how would that be done. I mean do you connect the poles to each other and wich ones. The ones next to each other or the one by itself to one of the two next to each other or all three. Please help me in this chaos.
Thanks very much.
