Sunny Overheating Electric Fan Issue

Hi, I have a 2010 Nissan Sunny with a diesel engine. I'm experiencing overheating. The electric fan seems impaired. Mileage is at 31339 km. I suspect it's a defective cable or plug connection. Anyone else seen this?

Summary of the thread

A 2010 Nissan Sunny with a diesel engine is experiencing overheating issues, suspected to be due to an impaired electric fan. The problem may be caused by a defective cable or plug connection. Checking the fan relay, located near the fuse box under the hood, is suggested as a potential solution. Ultimately, taking the car to a workshop for professional repair is recommended, as it resolved a similar issue for another individual.

I had a similar issue with my Sunny. Is the temperature gauge spiking? Have you checked the fan relay and the coolant level? Could be a simple fix, or something more involved with the cooling system.

The temperature gauge is indeed spiking. Coolant level is fine. Where exactly is the fan relay located? And did you manage to fix the problem yourself?

The fan relay is usually near the fuse box under the hood, but it's best to check the service manual for the exact location. In my case, it turned out to be a faulty connection, but I had a workshop take care of it. Saved me a lot of hassle.

Thanks for the info. I'll check the relay location. I think I'll take it to a workshop as well. The diagnostic pointed to a defective cable/plug, and the repair was 95€. Much appreciated!
