Cooling fan

Guess I rejoiced too soon ? After a 30 mile round trip I fitted my new relay , started her up and after a time , success ! The fan cut in . It cycled on and off for bout 10 mins and I smugly turned her off . Replaced the side panel and tidied the garage , after an hour or so I ran her again and guess what ? No fan !
Checked fuse all good . Checked relay , all good there , bypassed the fan and that worked too so moved on to checking coolant temperature wires . All seemed good there too so started the engine , no fan but engine management light instead ! I now have a steep learning curve ahead and can avoid tune ecu no more . And so to the questions ,
How do I ensure I am ordering the correct lonelec cable ? Got myself a windows laptop ! And which is the easiest path to removing the sensor ? That little sucker is well tucked away . Have any of you guys found a shortcut ? Wish me luck !

Where did you get the relay & have you a photo of its details?
There are different types of 12v relay and also ratings.
Also just to check basics what's the position of this relay on bike?

What's the rating on the fuse blade itself?

When you say bypassed the fan and it's fine, do you mean put 12v direct onto the fan..?

Re tune ecu be sure to order from lonelec site and nowhere else even if it says lonelec cable.
With the check engine light on you're probably gonna need that cable to fix all this.
Or perhaps the rooting around has disturbed something hence the ems light

Tune ecu will also show u engine temp so you can check function/approx calibration of the sensor without having to dig it out

Also @mexican if he can shed any light on why his went a few times?

Thanks for the response Turbo , ok the relay came from main dealer after giving them the vin number , I can post a pic up later but the make and numbers did correspond. It's number 3 under left hand panel , the fitted fuse is 15 amp and the fan ran when connected to a direct supply ! I have ordered the obd2 cable from lonelec but unfortunately is on back order until March 3rd as they are currently out of stock !

Ok the fan fuse on my 2010 roadster is a 7.5A
Checked the data sheets for the fan shows in around 6-7A draw at normal operation

Have you an ammeter or multimeter?

I can post you my cable if you like, speed things up

I really appreciate that offer turbo , on consideration I think I would rather wait the week or so as I hate to borrow . It may be a good idea to take yours and send you back the new one when it arrives but knowing my luck they will send me the wrong one lol as I am a firm believer that no good deed goes unpunished However , I may reconsider if I get too impatient ! Weather here is awful right now which makes it easier to wait . Plus I get to keep watching the instructional video over and over ! It's a big step for this simple fellow . I do have a multimeter but certainly not an expert with it . That's interesting about the fuse , mine is 2010 roadster and the fuse index on the fuse box lid shows a 15 amp !
I have ordered a new sender unit from triumph . I thought at £25 it's worth having as a spare if not needed . Originally I thought on changing it out regardless but in retrospect it's a bit of a monkey to get to !
