alright so ive had a CEL for a little while and when i finally hooked up the ecmspy and it gave me a code 36 so i initially just replaced the fuse since it was blown. i rode the bike for 2 days like this with no problems with the fan at then on the 3rd day i started getting the CEL coming on and off all the time just randomly. today i went to ride it and it was running like shit i think due to new map i was testing and the CEL came on so when i got home i noticed the fuse was blown again so i put a new fuse in and CEL is still on. ive been having this issue on and off for quite some time now so i printed the trouble code diag sheet from the service manual to see where grounds and stuff are and it didn't tell me a hole lot really so I'm not sure if i have a ground issue because the fan does work when the CEL isn't on or if i have a fan issue and just need to replace it. | ||

alright so a little update as i keep blowing fuses i just went out and jumped pin 6 on the gray ecm terminal and grounded it right out to the frame and fan came on everything was good. i was like o well ECM must be bad then right, well after a minute i was like let me test some other spots to see if theres a better ground maybe else where. i jumped pin 6 and tested the spot on the left side where the ECM is grounded and the fan seemed sluggish so i jumped the post where the seat latches to and it seemed real good and then i touched another random bolt and nothing happened so i just assumed it wasn't a grounded area. after these few areas of testing i decided to try one of the areas that worked before and nothing, i jumped pin 6 and tried numerous areas that worked before and im getting nothing out of the fan at all. i dont get how the fan spools up at full speed one minute and then is completely dead the next. | ||

i went out just now again to jump pin 6 to ground and fan ran perfect and i let it run for quite awhile and no change so i decided to start the bike to charge the battery back up again and once i shut the bike off jumping the pin to ground did nothing again. went ahead and ordered a new fan and i guess well see if that fixes the problem | ||

On mine: The insulation failed right outside the motor terminals and then the wiring started to corrode and fail. Sounds alot like your symptoms. | ||

are you talking about where the fan plugs in at then? i have a new fan thatll be here saturday so when i have to take everything apart to replace it ill make sure and check for any corrosion in the plugs down in there. |
