faults with any of these will cause it to shut down.
i made up french mikes magic tester which is a bulb with holder.two bits of wire and two sewing needles.solder all together.then you pierce the live feed then place the other needle into the feed for the fan the light will come on and the fan runs etc.repeat the process for the other components before replacing any thing.or if you have access to a t4 put it on that i belive it can tell you whats is going on with these components.
As the pcb has it seems gone to lock out, can I still perform all these tests by earthing pin 3?

if I supply 12v from a battery to the water pump and fan, is this an acceptable way to test?

I don't have T4 but there is one not too far away
