If the radiator fan isn't coming on I would check the coolant temperature sensor which tells the fan to turn on. Check your owners manuel for locations of fuses or relays that control the fan. Lastly you can unplug the fan and direct jumper it to make sure the motor isn't burnt out. I hope this helps.

SOURCE: I have 2005 monte carlo

The coolant temp sensor is on the thermostat housing at the back of the engine. See pictures below. Try taking the connector off the sensor--this should turn the fans on. If not, you may have a problem with power distribution to the fans. You can interrogate the relay sockets to verify that the PCM is sending a signal to turn the fans on. Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6022358-relay_check on how to interrogate the relays. The PCM signal is a ground signal, so one of the socket terminals should be dead until the engine is hot--then it should become a ground. I have pasted the wiring diagrams below, but resolution on FixYa is not great. Please let me know if you have any questions.

2003 chevy monte carlo passenger side cooling fan not working

The passenger side fan should only come on while driving at highway speeds, to offer additional cooling help to cool down car, the Driver side fan is for when parked, ideling, city traffic, and air conditioner use. At least that is what i was told.

My monte carlo overeheats and shuts down. Why?

The shut down may be a result of the PCM seeing the vehicle overheating and doing this for protection.

Make sure your cooling system is full

Check that the engine fan is working. It may get to a high temp before it turns on. You can also turn on the AC if it works and that will turn the fan on (may take a bit as some respond to system pressure). But that will just tell if the fan and relay work, not if the temp sensor is working.

Swap the relay for another, (A/C for fan)

Does the expansion tank get full and/or coolant forced out of the system? May have blown head gasket causing combustion to force the coolant out of the system.

Thermostat may be stuck.

Water pump impeler may be bad

95 monte carlo 3.1 cooling fan comes on at 3/4 temp, when the coolant temp sensor is disconnected both fans run strongly until car is shut off, but when its connected only 1 fan will come on at 3/4 temp

to check both fans work at high temps put a sheet of card over the rad to block off airflow and run engine till hot,keeping an eye on when they both start (one is set at a lower temp than the other),if the second fan dont start when the engine is really hot THEN you have a problem.....

RADIATOR FAN IS NOT WORKING

If relay and fan fuse are good, disconnect coolant temp. sensor, sensor will be on thermostat housing or just below it, fan should come on right away, if it does replace sensor, if it don't check voltage at cooling fan harness with sensor disconnected, if you have voltage there replace cooling fan assembly.

1999 3.1L V6 Monte Carlo: Had the engine replaced. Now the dual cooling fans do not come on when the engine heats up as before. They only come on now when the A/C is running. How do I get this corrected so...

The fans are controlled by the ECM.they will not normally come on untill about 235 degrees.Have someone put a scan tool on your car,run it and see how hot it gets.Your new engine may a different coolant sensor, which changed the reading on your gauge.

Where in the heck is the radiator fuses on a 2003 chevy monte carlo SS. The passenger side fan motor has quit but is showing it has power when tested with a testing light?

if you have power there then the fuses are good or relays but if you have power then you ethier have a bad fan or ground wire also that fan should only come on when the ac is on
