Also. To everyone with this problem. IF YOUR AC LINES ARE LOW ON COOLANT. THE FAN RELAY WILL NOT TURN ON. YOU HAVE TO EMPTY YOUR AC LINES AND FILL AND BLEED THEM WITH NEW REFRIGERANT. ACC LINE AFFECT THE FAN RELAY. JUST SOMETHING I LEARNED RECENTLY
@@HowToDoitright Sorry im english, so your fan was not coming on, did it set off any error codes, sometimes the car will set off error codes making the fan not work, by clearing error codes with a scanner it might come on.
Can you link me with how to fix INPA. Mine doesn't show e46 as an option okm the vehicle select. ?? It has all other bmw series. Even the newer series. But didn't show e46?? Thank you brother.
Does it show a fault on the dash or something you only see when hooking up the computer, and does it have to be the inpa or could any code reader do the job
hi thank you,,, i also bought a inpa and cable from wish and i have a different inpa software version ... so i took a version from bimmergeeks... no turning on fan when engine gets on temperature gauge on the middle it turns on when i connect the two cables from the sensor together and take battery cables off and it turns off ,or turns on with inpa but doesnt turn off with inpa f4 or it turns on with inpa and not turning off with switch off or it turns on direct minus and plus to battery and turns off when disconnect from battery i also notice my airco pressure is low because of last years little engine refresh all coolant and gasket and oil etcetra etcetra,, thanks for all help helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp thanks to u all,,, greatings a Kurdish boy living in the Netherlands..
I was seeing a similar problem on my E46. Tried so much to troubleshoot and after changing bunch of parts and spending $$$ I gave up and sold my car. A lot of people I have seen endup wiring the fan directly with a switch inside and they just control it manually when they drive and turn if off when they reach home. Kind of stupid but oh well howelese to fix it.

Is this true my AC refrigerator is empty. I'm trying to test my electric fan but when I press the AC button my electric fan doesn't come on.
Thanks for this. I was wondering why it wont turn on and you solved it for me. 🙏
Would disconnecting the battery clear the fault?
No
man i have just the same problem with the temperature gauge as you. How do you read the temperature from the screen???
Check my videos on playlist E46. You will see a video on there b
thank you man!
How did you remove the fan with leaving the bumper on?
You have to remove the front engine fan first. No need to remove the bumper
@@HowToDoitright So just remove the 4 bolts and just pull it out from the top?
So your initial auxiliary fan was dead and by changing it over it set off error codes in the dme, correct!
Huh ?
@@HowToDoitright Sorry im english, so your fan was not coming on, did it set off any error codes, sometimes the car will set off error codes making the fan not work, by clearing error codes with a scanner it might come on.
@@HowToDoitright So the temp sensor more than likely triggered the fault in the dme.
@@ricardopelc-wesoly3483 no error codes were there.
@@HowToDoitright 2.14 in you say that you had error codes on the fan!

Sorry bro I don’t have a software and the car anymore.
@@HowToDoitright no worries brother. Did you remember if it's something I can change within INPA? Like a setting change or something in the menus?
Can you give me a full description of the inpa software and the cable appreciate it much
cash money it’s a lot to cover in a written description. You may need to do some research and read about it. Lots of documentation on google.
Can u show me what temperature ur gearbox runs on hot day when u pushing it bit hard ,
I sold the car. Sorry
Does it show a fault on the dash or something you only see when hooking up the computer, and does it have to be the inpa or could any code reader do the job
No a simple code reader won’t show this. Only INPA will
No errors on dash
hi thank you,,, i also bought a inpa and cable from wish and i have a different inpa software version ...
so i took a version from bimmergeeks...
no turning on fan when engine gets on temperature gauge on the middle
it turns on when i connect the two cables from the sensor together
and take battery cables off and it turns off
,or turns on with inpa but doesnt turn off with inpa f4 or it turns on with inpa and not turning off with switch off
or it turns on direct minus and plus to battery and turns off when disconnect from battery
i also notice my airco pressure is low because of last years little engine refresh all coolant and gasket and oil etcetra etcetra,,
thanks for all help
