cooling fan problems

[fitbmx358]

so i went for a ride out in the pits and i ended up swamping my 08 z400. i drained out my air box and pulled out the plug and cranked it over, and i changed the oil. then just after going back out again i noticed the over heating light came on. the antifreeze was boiling and it was just a mess. i changed out the antifreeze thinking that maybe i some water got into the overflow. this whole time the fan just wouldn't turn on. and it wont turn on at all. so im thinking i loaded the wiring harness with water. i know it must be electrical, but could you guys just name the part and possibly just tell me the price? thanks. id like to get the fan turning and riding again

before looking for a new fan check the fuse on the radiator there is one there that i have had blow on me before and wont let the fan run so check that out before you do any thing else hope this helps you out

03's didnt have fuses but if its newer it should...id deff check that first

03 has a fuse just like the rest of them, p/n 3 in the fiche. http://www.motorsportssuperstore.com/fiche_image_popup.asp?fveh=10114&section=431915&year=2003&make=SUZUKI&category=ATVs&dc=808&name=ELECTRICAL

Check the fuse first, if that's not it pull the electrical connector on the lower radiator plug and jump the wires in the plug. If the fan comes on you need a new temp switch, about $40.

There's a method to test it in the manual with a multimeter and a pan of hot water.

thanks alot you guys. it was a fuse. it was mounted by a rubber clamp to the radiator. i appreciate your input and im sorry for the reply delay. my computer was being fixed.

jerkin thats the solenoid fuse if thats bad then nothing will work...i mean the 04 ups have a separate fuse just for the fan right next to it

[fitbmx358]

yeah all i had to do was pull the cap off and throw in the spare fuse. everything worked except the cooling fan. I have a 2008

[MR4Engine202]

no thats what the diagram was that jerkin posted...that fuse was and the picture was for the solenoid which on the 03's was the only fuse....on the 04 and ups like urs they had a fuse for the fan as well as the solenoid fuse..which is what i was talking about


ps solenoid is under the seat

[fitbmx358]

Gotcha, I thought you meant they didn't have any fuse, lol.
