The way I look at the layout is yours uses the layout from current track 254 to 259 so on the red green at 254 that is ignition live and at 255 is the ECU signal so I would start by checking the junctions shown T4bf and T5 for corrosion and continuity. I have emailed you the full engine current flow diagrams.

Thankyou for the diagram, ive checked continuity from the ecu pins (t105/48/49) and the powers back to connector T4bg, i was hoping one of the ecu wires was faulty (hecne the full power mode) but everything checks out fine and after considering the fans work fine when the car is 'on' this does make sense,

one thing that occurred to me today is perhaps when the car 'goes to sleep' the ecu is missing a live which should be still supplying it when in this mode, with this live missing the fans then have no signal from the ecu and go into full on mode? that would make sense?

I might check pin outs on the ecu for power when the car is shut down, will have to see how many permanent lives its should receive when its asleep and what pins. you dont happen to have any idea which pins should receive power when the car is off.

I suspect a faulty fan controller but the parts system says it has two.

YES EACH FAN HAS ITS OWN INBUILT controller, ive unplugged each one and they are still the same, i suppose it is possible that they both failed at the same time but highly unlikely.

The system shows them as separate but I am limited to what I can see at home.
