Well, took the MGB for a "maiden voyage" yesterday. Putting about 80 miles
on it on Route I-80 in New Jersey to a GS Brownie activity at a local Girl
Scout camp. It was supposed to be a 1950's theme "Hot Rods and Soda Shops"
event
for brownies and their fathers with a display of 1950's automobiles, and I
thought it would be fun to drive the B up there to hobnob with the vintage
Chevy's, Ford's etc...
Well, it's a good thing I went, because it turns out the MGB was one of only
TWO cars that showed up! Supposedly the hot-rodders didn't want to park their
cars under trees or drive over the questionable terrain. Anyway, my little
blue car was quite popular and another driver did show up with a nice example
of a '55 Chevy. A 3rd driver didn't bring his late 60's Chevelle because of a
bad coolant leak.
OK, long story short: The MG performed quite well, but when I got back home
in the evening I popped the hood to check for leaks, bits flying off, etc. and
I noticed the electric cooling fans weren't running. I pulled the wire off
the radiator switch and shorted it out and still nothing. I can't find a
wiring
diagram in my Haynes manual with the fans on it. Are these fused or what?
If so, where is the fuse? I see a relay in the Moss and VB catalogs and then a
circuit breaker in the Moss catalog. Anyone with a later MGB care to
enlighten me???
Many thanks ahead of time!!!
