I’ve recently acquired an a1708 and it appears that there is something wrong with getting the fan to work.
I’ve got istat menus, and manual control there doesn’t do anything.
I tried an SMC reset, which started the fans at initial boot up, but then back to nothing.
It’d be great if anyone has any suggestions as to what to try next?

OK, Lets try a different program which is a bit more visual so we can see whats happening TG Pro expand the apps window so all of the sensors and fans can be seen.
Take a snapshot after starting up cold (after sitting for a good hour). Take a second after running something hard like watching a long YouTube vid paste both here so we can see Adding images to an existing question

@danj thanks for that - I downloaded TG Pro which allowed me to override the system control at the exhaust and the fans worked.
@alasdairsim - Well that's good! If you're all set don't forget to score and accept the answer.

Run the onboard diagnostics. Press the D key lets see what it tells us

Thanks for your reply Dan, I tried that and it said 'No issues found'. I did hear that the fan was running during diagnostics.
