Horton Air Fan
I am surprised they use such a clutch to cool an engine?? I used hortons that
require air pressure to engage on water pump clutch applications. Any
pneumatic fan clutch I ever had on a truck was air pressure to disengauge. In
otherwords when the clutch lost air the springs would pish the fan on.
passive-on / active-off like the parking brake. Are you sure it is air to
engage?

If you had the switch on override the fan would be on all the time it is on
override??? Override overrides the prompts to turn the fan off.

there again the electrical end is also electric effort to turn off and no
electric effort to spin. (passive-on-spin /active-off) when the power or air
has a failure in any combination the fan will spin and cool. this ensures that
if the engine is running with the failue it will have cooling. But I am not
sure how it is set up on your bus????

I had my Horton rebuilt two years ago. We just came back from a 3000 mile trip
& every thing ran good with the fan cycling on and off as normal I aired it up &
checked the fan & it was turning. My fan switch was on override & it shouldn't
been turning. I couldn't get it to quit turning. Even when My air tanks were
drained it still wouldn't spin free. It is locked up. Any one have an idea why
it would go bad in a couple years? Thanks Don
