FAULT:- Coolant Fan Control Circuit 1: Electrical Malfunction

[EvolutionV]

Can't seem to fix this fault that i have on my car (2006 A3 2.0TFSI Quattro) , i've looked on the ross tech wiki and its says to check the fuses. i can't find the fuse for the coolant fan and after searching on here it seem there isn't one. Is this right???
Has anyone had any similar problems like this or have any idea how to fix it. I was thinking i might need a complet new radiator fan?
Here's a scan i did with vag com:-

I've also checked that the fans aren't jammed etc, how do i perform output test on the coolant fan control module (J293)? Nothing comes up when i search for it on ross tech website...

Do the fans work with the a/c on? The fuse is in the engine bay, its a 10 amp one, cant remember the number.

I've not checked with the ac on, are they meant to come on? i've checked all the fuses and none are blown. car drives fine until you park it up and leave it running for a while and then it will overheat.

With the a/c on the fans should cut in and out, check in your handbook for fuse locations. Its not uncommon for fan ctrl units to go t1ts up but youd want to make sure its that due to cost.
