  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Fan not working

Im havin some fan issues and need help. I have a 07 TE510 E3 and the fan isnt working I just noticed it after I put some rad braces on and think it hasnt worked before that but not sure. The fan itself works (I checked that) but it doesnt come on when the bike gets hot. It got so hot earlier that it blew the overflow hose off and made a heck of a cloud of steam. I rode it again to day after cleaning all the connections and it still wont work. Does anyone have any ideas what to look for or maybe how to trace it down.
 
I dug through the documents I have and there is a fan relay on the right hand side of the frame very close to the radiators. In addition it appears that the actual sensor is a brass colored item that screws into the engine just below the choke/hot start.

My guess would be one of those 2 items are not working correctly.


I'm not sure what else I could do through the internet to help you.
 
They really gave little detail regarding the fan/sensor/relay. Usually people just 'figure them out'. They work just like all other systems like that.

If if were me I'd start tracing wires and use traditional debugging techniques. Maybe someone else could give more input... or maybe visit any automotive store with bored people that wanted to sketch something out.

You could dig through the schematics in your owners manual too. The positive wires to those items, ground wires, sensor wires... at least make sure the relay is seated firmly in it's connector.
 
Called George today and he helped me out a bunch. I think I have narrowed it down to the relay or the black box. The relay does click in and out but wont carry any current on the other side.
 
Confirmed it was the relay today and couldnt source a oem one in time, so I done some research and found one at a local auto parts store for $13 (vs $30 for oem). It is a direct plug in, no wire cutting or anything it just doesnt have the rubber mount. The one I got has a metal tab for mounting and I just used an empty threaded hole in the frame to mount it. The NAPA part number is AR-317.
