Bearing on the radiator cooling fan has just failed on my 95 2.0 L Galaxy. I have removed the motor and found that the motor shaft has been spinning inside the bearing inner race, judging by the amount of dust and rust its been doing it for some time but chose today to start rattling. Called the local Ford dealer expecting to have to pay

I believe that Galaxys fitted with Ford engines use a different Coding system to the VW Sharan.

:( :D Well what can I say, I took out the relay opened it up and sure enough a couple of the joints looked a bit suspect, I have resoldered them and its started 20 times every time and no fiddling about with relays. Thanks for your help. This fault has been coming and going for months and its been to the Ford main dealer for it. I must say I'm not impressed with Ford dealers this car has had literally thousands spent on it by the warranty company, although I had to pay for the diagnostics and I wonder just how many of the faults they found were genuine. :( :D

Where is relay number 30

Yes I do and it seems to be working ok, do you know what this invert relay does ?

My Galaxy is a 95 2.0L GLX which has developed an intermittent starting problem. I have narrowed it down to someting to do with Relay 3 in the fuse box, which according to the owners maual, is a power supply relay. When the car won't start, moving the relay slightly brings it back to life, strange thing is that if you remove the relay the car still starts. Anybody know what this relay does or any other ideas? By the way after reading about cruise control problems on this site I fixed mine with a new piece of rubber tube to the unit behind the nearside headlamp. Its been to five Ford main dealers had three new control units to fix the problem each time it only lasted a few days before failing, the first dealer actually admitted they had no idea what was wrong with it !
