Why do you need to do this Zohar?

It will be quite difficult ad it might be easier to repair what you have rather than try to replace...

There is that short harness from under the fusebox to the cooling fan housing - do you mean that one?

Zohar,

These circuits may jsut give you some idea of the loom replacement problem.

Although for an S1 Activa, the diagrams will apply to most S1 Xantias...

Fans Circuit Diagram

Fans Harness Diagram - The important one as it shows the looms/harnesses as they exist physically...

And finally, the locations of the various components..

Hope that helps Zohar...

One of the relay’s pin welded to the relay socket. I fixed this by cutting the wire and crimped a new terminal. For now it is OK, but from my experience it will happen again with the other relays . I have to opportunity to get a used harness, cleaned it and renew the electrical contacts and I want to install it.

Regards

Thanks Jim the “locations” link is exactly what I need . Addo in that “locations” link it is the loom marked as E096 in the G square . It looks like I have to detach the frame that the fan motors are attached to. Can this be done without removing the front bumper ?
Thanks

No, it requires removal of the bumper, frame face, undoing two 5mm internal hex head bolts on the AC joiner down low (make sure the correct two - don't lose all the gas!) and then decoupling of the radiator/condenser from the fan mounting.

It's easy enough Zohar, provided rust as not go hold of the mounting bolts...

Remove indicators and grille.

Remove the 13mm (10mm on s2 cars) bolts on the sides of the bumper sides. These can be accessed from the bungs in the front wing arch liners. Give them a good spray with Plus Gas as these are the ones that can be a bit of a challenge due to rust build-up on their threads.

Then, remove the three 10mm bolts on the underskirt and then pull the bumper forward, disconnecting the foglight electrics as you go.

If you have a car with headlamp washers you will need to disconnect the water feed ope to the washer jets - there’s a quick-release coupling to make this easy...

Think that's it. Sorry if I've missed a step or two... All from memory...
