C240 not starting

The fastest way to check a radiator fan is to turn on the a\c while idling , this should automatically turn on both fans at once, if they don't come on first check the fuses then the fan relay. If the motors are working when the a/c is on then your thermoswitch has gone bad (its located somewhere on the radiator, look for two wires coming out of it)

the radiator fan gets the power from a relay that is energized by a signal from the ECM that in turn gets a report from the coolant temperature sensor
AT this point I would be thinking that there is considerable resistance in the relay
you say the fan works a bit so the temp sensor is reporting toe the ECM which is turning the relay on but power is low from there
replace the fan relay and see if the situation improves
you can test that theory by putting a meter across the wires to the fan when it should be working and reading the voltage available to the fan
if it is not 12 volts or better( 13.2-14 volts) it is the relay

have you tried replacing your radiator cap?

b
Be more explicit.
Can you roate the key fob?

The baterry is charged and hold a charge? (Can you turn on the lights, short beam and the lights are not weak?

Assuming the check engine light is not on, I would want to know what the engine temp sensor is doing.
A scanner would tell you what the temp sensor is showing - if it is unplugged or there is a problem with the wiring the fans will run as a default to prevent the engine from overheating. It could be a fan relay but I doubt it. A relay usually works or not.

Couple of reasons. You may need to have the Radiator backflushed to remove sediment. You also have an Electric cooling fan which may be malfunctioning. They (fans) often have more than 1 speed and high speed may be broken so it can not keep up with extreme heat.

Some fans use more than 1 relay to switch the fans and the second stage relay may be bad.

Overall, the A/C coil is placed in front of the Radiator and depends on airflow to function. This makes the air available to the Radiator much hotter so the Radiator is having a hard time cooling the engine. The Electric radiator fans kick up the airflow to help both systems out.

A dirty radiator, old antifreeze, etc. can affect performance.

I hope my solution is helpful. Radiator shops can service most Brands.

I would presume you are meaning an electric fan that has two fans together. Both fans dont always run at the same time. One is a high speed fan and the other a low speed fan together in the same shroud. Engine temp determines if and when they turn on. *****CAUTION!!!!! Fans can turn on any time the key is in the on position even if the engine isnt running. Do not put your finger in the fan or handle them unless the Neg (-) battery terminal is disconnected.*****

Well the first thing I can tell you is that the radiator fan should kick on as soon as you turn on the a/c. That's because of the extra strain it puts on the engine. So, if you don't see or hear the fan go on with the a/c, it's probably dead. You could also unplug the fan and run a jumper wire off of the battery to see if it goes on.

these cars have relays for the fans, replace relays and the fuses. if still dnt work, replace the temperature sensor. make sure u check the wiring, it may just b a loose wire.
