Hi,

Does anyone know which way does the thermal fan spin? Towards the headlight or towards the door?

Watch as it turns off, when it gets slow you will be able to tell.

OK I will it check. Just put a new switch in and don't know which way it should spin. Does it usually spin at the opposite direction against the engine fan?

I don't think it matters whether it spins clockwise or anti-clockwise, so long as it's sucking air from the engine bay and blowing it out the wheel arch.
