********.
AFAIK those aren't normally electric.
The term 'fan belt' is the problem. All? cars still have the belt
but it drives the water pump, alternator, air-con and sometimes
power steering too, while the fan is always thermostatically-controlled
electric in 'normal' cars.
My Astra has an electric hydraulic steering pump.
Latest Astra doesn't even have a thermostat, there is a gate
valve controlled by the ECU directly.
Just trust me, ******** are not generally electric.
And no, I've not done a mass survey.
