Problems with the fan and solar sensor in the Ford Galaxy 2021 - experiences and solutions wanted
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2021 Ford Galaxy owner is experiencing issues with the fan not providing adequate cooling or heating, accompanied by a warning light on the speedometer. The owner suspects the solar sensor might be the cause. A suggestion was made to check the wiring harness, as a similar issue in another vehicle was resolved by addressing a faulty wiring harness. The owner plans to have the wiring checked at a garage to potentially resolve the problem.

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. My car has already run 133309 km. There were no problems with my last aircon service. Maybe I should just have the wiring harness checked. Thanks for your suggestion!

Hey, no problem! Glad I could help. At 133309 km, it's quite possible that the wiring harness or some other part is showing wear. If your aircon service was trouble free, it sounds more like an electronics problem than just a cooling system problem. A check of the wiring harness in the workshop would certainly be a good idea. Hope that solves the problem! Don't forget to report how it turned out. Good luck and best wishes.

Yes, I also think it's probably the electronics. I'll make an appointment at the garage and have the wiring harness checked. I'll let you know what the mechanic finds and how much it cost. Thanks again and have a nice day!

Hi, I have some experience with cars, but no expert knowledge. I had a similar problem with my 2019 Ford Focus. Overheating, warning lights, the whole shebang. After a visit to my garage, it turned out to be the wiring harness that was faulty, not the solar sensor. The repair cost me 155 euros. I can't guarantee it's the same problem, but it's probably worth checking. Would it be possible for you to give the vehicle information? Then maybe I could share more details and help further.
