Cooling fan dodge neon 1997 - Neon Dodge Cars & Trucks

check fan relay in fuse box. have it tested at auto zone .Check that no wires are loose going into the fan.

sounds as if you have some bad cooling fan motors.need to make sure the power and ground are being supplied before condemning the fans. dodge vehicles are common for circuit problems for cooling fan control.

Does the cooling fan come on ? Not the thermostat . Sitting still no air movement through the radiator ,when you drive air flows through the radiator. I would be looking at a problem with the cooling fan . Relay maybe, fan motor etc...

So the car only overheats at idle? How many miles on the car? What fan are you referring to - the heater fan or the cooling fan for the radiator? It sounds like you may have a plugged up radiator. If the engine has high mileage the radiator may have accumulated enough junk over the years to become restricted. Some automotive technicians have a laser that they can use to check the radiator for cool spots, which would indicate internal blockage.

The fans should be sucking air in from the front of the car, not blowing air out the front.

if fans not woking when AC is turned on check the multiplug connections on the fans first they corrode and burn the contacts inside the plug

What is the mileage? Check the reservoir for coolant, when the engine is COLD,... I repeat COLD, check the radiator for fluid. If fluid is present, check to see if your fans are working properly, turn your AC on and your fans in front of your motor should kick in within minutes.

If you have coolant in the reservoir and radiator (suspect a new thermostat, replacing the radiator will benefit greatly too)

If your fans do not turn on within minutes, replace your radiator fan relay.

1997 Plymouth Neon, have replaced radiator, radiation cap, thermostate and hoses, still run hot. Fans do not seem to come on, where is the temperature sensor on this vehicle?

fan motor may be drawing to many amps. see if it moves freely when not on, check for loose connections

the relay is located on left side frame rail under battery inside of frame
