Flunky,

Well, I was feeling pretty proud of myself. Then I took a look in the Bently manual and noticed some diagnostic tests for the auxiliary fan (the one in FRONT of the radiator). I go hmmmm...I don't remember ever seeing that moving. Ever.

So, after I drove the car and it got nice and hot, I parked it to see if the fan was moving. Nope.

This weekend I will run some of the tests (just bypass the sensors mounted on the radiator) to see if I can get it to turn over.

The best answer would be for the sensors to be replaced. A replacement aux. fan is a few hundred clams. I may not have time to wait for one to show up in the local pick-a-part junkyard. It's starting to get warm out here.

But, first thing this weekend will be to yank the thermostat for the summer.
