On the contrary, while there are external switches that control the fan clutch. The ECM can and does send a signal to also turn the fan clutch on. I believe I have successfully tested all the external switches proplerly, and also looked at all the ECM I/O parameters that can power up the circuit, everything looks in spec. I appreciate all the advice. Hopefully I can catch someone on here with more knowledge of the DDDL platform then me. (Which isnt much) Thanks to all that replied.

Was it working properly and then quit?
-
I had a guy that recently had that issue but he had a Cat engine. Someone replaced the pressure switch closest to the charge ports and installed the wrong one. They swore up and down it was new and the correct one. I installed the proper one and everything went back to working well.
The reason I was asking about previous history is I have also seen people change out ECMs and one is programmed for Horton and another for Kysor and it would make fan run/not run. -
Do you know what parameter in the input/output changes that setting?
-
No. Sorry. Not right off. Did you change ECM?

A little background.... I bought the truck and immediately it needed a new ecm. While the engine fan sounded like it was running occasionally, I was never personally driving the truck very much. About a month ago, the fan clutch bearing failed, so I replaced with oem new. At the same time I went through the truck and replaced the dash bulbs, that is when I noticed the engine fan light was always on. I then replaced the air solenoid, still on. I then checked all external sensor and switch wiring, still on. I then found and replaced engine fan relay, still on. I have looked @ the truck while hooked up to DDDL and didn't see anything out of spec. But, I am not familiar enough with the software or platform to know where to look to see if it is programmed for a horton hub.
-
are you saying the fan was not on all the time until you replaced the fan clutch?
-
No, I am saying I am going to assume it was on the entire time, I just don't think the bonehead driving it noticed, and it didn't come under my radar till I replaced the burnt out "engine fan" warning bulb the same day I installed the new Horton.
-
Ok understood.
Then it sounds like you are down to the ecm being programmed wrong.
Where did you get the ecm?
Can they be of any help?Nextlvl Thanks this. -
I bought it and had it installed at a trustworthy detroit shop that I have a good relationship with. They are trying to help me with it. But it was a year ago, so I don't expect them to take it in without it costing me. (Which might be what I get stuck with) I am just trying to work through it on my own witha little advice from other. *Stepping over a dollar to save a dime! LMFAO
