Fan issues VS III ute

[vsute79]

I have a 1999 VS III S pack ute with about 105K kms. There are issues with the fan. It has become unreliable, when the car is started and the fan is already on it can take 10-15 mins before it comes on. Other times it starts immediately and others after a few seconds/minutes. Very frustrating in hot weather as the AC is super cold. Any ideas appreciated, cheers.

I'd check fuses and relays first, then check that power is actually going to the fan motor - you probably can access the wiring direct to the fan motor by removing the glovebox. Also the actual switch can fail. Unless it works only on high, the resister pack should be OK.
Good Luck.
