Twingo Overheating Electric Fan Issue

Hi, I have a 2013 Renault Twingo (gasoline engine) with 75806 km. Recently, the engine started overheating. I checked, and the electric fan doesn't seem to be kicking in. I suspect a faulty connection, maybe a cable or plug issue. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Summary of the thread

A 2013 Renault Twingo was experiencing engine overheating due to the electric fan not activating. The initial suspicion was a faulty connection, possibly involving a cable or plug. After checking the fuse visually, it appeared intact, but further investigation at a workshop revealed a faulty cable connection in the electric fan, which was subsequently repaired.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Hey! Overheating definitely isn't good. If the fan's not running, and you're suspecting a wiring issue, have you checked the fuse for the electric fan? A blown fuse is a quick and easy check before diving deeper into wiring or the fan motor itself.

Good point about the fuse, thanks. I checked the fuse box, and visually, the fan fuse looks okay. Is there a reliable way to test a fuse beyond just looking at it?

Visually inspecting fuses can be misleading; they can still be broken even if they look intact. Ideally, use a multimeter to check for continuity across the fuse. If you don't have one, swapping it with a known working fuse of the same amperage is an option. But based on your description, it's probably best to get it checked out by a workshop.

Thanks for the confirmation and advice! I took it to a local shop, and you were right, the cable connection of the electric fan was faulty. They repaired it for 95€.
