Look at the coolant sensor it also controls the fan,one way to check is to turn on a/c see if that over rides it

SOURCE: cooling fans on 2001 chevy malibu will not come on unless ac on

the relays control circuit is grounded by ECM (computer) . to check this make sure the is hot enough for the fans to be commanded on by computer and check to see if you have voltage at relay and it has ground from computer . you may need ECM.
good luck

SOURCE: fans run constantly

Irwinr12 is right, no amount of fan will keep the Regal from warming up if the thermostat is working properly, Replace it. Clear SES light with OBDII tool & you should be good to go. BTY its the car computer that keeps the fans running, and they will continue to run until you clear the code. Any kind of cooling/overheating proiblem will kick in the SES light and set both fans running. I own '01 GS, my son has '03 GS and we have both complete set of service manuals. Trust me, do what I say. Batman

SOURCE: 2001 Impala Cooling Fan Not coming on ever and car

Cooling fan relay switch (in the fuse box uner the hood). Look for othger relays in there that are the same type number (they are all marked). If you find one that is the same as the cooling fan relay, then swap the two relays and check. (Turn on car and turn on A/C ... fan will start ... or not).

Fan motor could be bad (most likely).
If you remove it yourself, don't scrapr the radiator fins with the fan blades.

Hope this helps!

I have a 2001 Ford Escape that blew radiator hose, replace hose and tried to refill with coolant but coolant will not go down. Is this a thermostat problem?

You have trapped air in the cooling system, open the bleeder(s) (if equipped) while filling OR raise the front of the car up as high as possible with a floor jack and fill the coolant recovery tank to the top and run the engine until it is hot but do not let it overheat, wait for the engine to cool down (the coolant will self feed into the engine) and add more to the coolant tank if needed

Will not have a thermastat make suv overheat its 2001 ford escape

No.
Leaving the thermostat out will not make the engine run hot.
Some possible causes are low coolant, faulty water pump, or leaking head gasket.

2003 ford escape fans do not run in till the a/c is turned on.

There are four relays for the cooling fans .low speed control , medium speed , high speed fan control relay 2 , high speed fan control relay 1, there is also a engine cooling fan resistor .The engine coolant temp. sensor would most likely cause the check engine light to be on . There is also a dual pressure switch , this is for the A/C . The cooling fans will be turned on at 213 degress low speed , high speed at 226 degress . If you had factory scan tool or a professional type you could view coolant temp data in pcm , you could also energize the relays to see if the system is operating normally . There are other repair shops beside dealers

Car is running hot I think it's my water pump .

The most likely causes of a hot running engine are the following:

1. low antifreeze level in the radiator and cooling system.
2. fan not turning on at operating temperature.
3. restrictions in the cooling system such as sediment build up.

Water pumps usually leak when they are bad, and can cause an overheat because of low coolant level.
Check whether the water pump is leaking after topping off the coolant level and running at operating temperature, and then shutting off the car's engine.

Why does my air conditioner blow cold when im at a dead stop but when i get going it blows hot

When you are moving there is air blowing over the A/C condenser if front of the radiator this will cool the gas or refrigerant and make it cool, this is a sign of low refrigerant, plugged condenser with bugs or low on coolant in the radiator check these items first before spending any money. Be sure the engine is cool before removing cap and checking foe low coolant. If it is fitted with a fan clutch check to see if the fan spins easy with the engine off if it does then the clutch is worn out. You also have a fan switch that may be defective. You can go to this web site to find a part you might need. Hope this helps.

Changed expansion tank but light still on any ideas 03 ford escape low coolant level light on dash stays lightup

bad low coolant switch or still low on coolant.

Engine Cooling The cooling system components are the:
  • engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT sensor) (12A648)
  • radiator (8005)
  • degas bottle (8A080)
  • radiator draincock (8115)
  • water pump (8501)
  • water temperature indicator sender unit (10884)
  • water thermostat (8575)
  • dual speed fan motor assembly
The water pump circulates the coolant.
The water thermostat:
  • controls the engine coolant temperature.
  • allows quicker engine warm-up.
The degas bottle:
  • provides a location for fill.
  • contains coolant expansion and system pressurization.
  • provides air separation during operation.
  • replenishes the engine coolant to the system.
The fan motor (8C607):
  • operates only when the ignition switch is in the RUN position.
  • will not operate with the switch in the OFF position.
The engine coolant flows:
  • from the lower radiator hose (8286) to the water pump.
  • from the water pump to the engine block and the cylinder heads.
A closed water thermostat returns the engine coolant to the water pump; an open water thermostat allows the engine coolant to flow to the radiator.
Engine coolant provides freeze protection, boil protection, cooling efficiency and corrosion protection to the engine and cooling components. In order to obtain these protections, the engine coolant must be maintained at the correct concentration and fluid level in the degas bottle.
When adding engine coolant, use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and engine coolant.
To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system:

Coolant light on

You say it's overheating, more info needed such as:
Is the engine temp gauge showing that it's overheating?
Is it actually 'boiling over' and losing coolant?
If it's running hot, but not losing coolant, check to see it the cooling fan is operating when the engine temp rises. You may have a bad cooling fan switch that is not signaling the fan to go on to lower the engine temp.
It could be a stuck (closed) thermostat that is preventing proper circulation of coolant after the car reaches operating temp.
