Hi beeper77,

Thank you for the donation.

The radiator fan not working could be due to a faulty fan or relay. To test, the fan motor, unplug the socket and use remote wires to apply voltage to fan, if it works, the fan is ok and you need to check the relay. Try swapping the fan realy with others. Remember to mark the relays before removing so that youknow which is which should replacement be required.

As to the headlights, it could be afault with the switch or other controls. Is vehicle equipped with Daytime Running Lights?
