I have had the lenale fan now for about four months and yesterday when it was 90 degrees out went for a ride flipped the switch on the fan and nothing...anybody have any failures with this fan?

Dont know much about them but I would check the fuse first and is it controled by a themostat.

Ya check the fuse and make sure you have power up to the fan itself to rule that out. See if you can check the switch too to make sure it's working correctly.

If you have power and it's still not working then maybe call lenale and see if theres any guarantee for a replacement.

Good luck.

Ive got power from the bike so I think its the fan. FYI I called Eastern who I bought it from and the warranty is only 30 days. I guess I am going to pry that motor out and replace it.

I'm not sure about the V-twin fans, but auto aftermarket fans all run through a relay.  Most switches do not handle the load of the full motor amps.

As a general rule of thumb, you'll draw 1 amp per 100 cfm. (1k cfm = 10 amps)

Also all the temp sensor switches I'm familiar with are a grounding type switch.  That is that the relay has power to the relay coil and the sensor or switch grounds out to complete the circuit and activate the relay.

Because of its size, the relay may be internal, not sure though.  Did you install it or dealer?  Do you have a schematic?  These are not that complicated that a bulbed 12v DC circuit tester to do the quick checking.

Good luck with your problem.

pretty sure its a simple 2 wire setup with an on board on/off switch not realys or thermostats involved
