Hi Matt ,

In this case if after pulling fuse fan get start it means all the wiring, relay and fan is fine you just need to replace the thermostat/Tempratue sensor sensor, it comes on the radiator.

Thanks

SOURCE: cooling fan not working

The fans only run when the engine reaches approxminatly 235 degrees F. on the guage that is near the end of scale just before guage show "HOT" I don't think you have a problem, allot of folks out there don't know about this.

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: cooling fans wont turn on

Hello. I understand your frustrations as I too own a 2001 monte carlo and have had the same problem...along with several others. My engine temp gauge would show ZERO degrees because of the bad coolant temp sensor. So I replaced it with one from autozone (BIG MISTAKE) The one from autozone was **** and gave the car a different problem. The fans would not run while the engine was running and would run when the engine was off until the battery rundown protector would shut them down. this lasted about 2 weeks during which I had to keep my heater on (in the middle of summer) to keep my car from over heating because my fans wouldnt run. The autozone jerks said "if my temp gauge was working then the sensor was doing its job" and that "there is another problem" Well I finally called the dealership and they told me that autozone is junk and to try advance auto parts and to get the next one up from the cheapest...this is what they use...and NASCAR uses. It was a few dollars more (around $25) Problem solved. However a few months later the cooling fans went completly out..this was due to them experiencing such high temperatures for 2 weeks. I replaced them with ones from a salvage yard for $50. Dont let this happen to you...

SOURCE: On my 1998 vw beetle the cooling fans are not

The cooling fans work with a sensor. It has to reach a certain temperature in order for it to work. Maybe it is not the fan. Fan not coming is definitely caused by a faulty thermostat.

My engine is running hot and the coolong fans do not go on

Checking codes would be best. First check the fuses. pull them out and look. Then start the car and turn on the A/C, if the fans come on the replace the coolant sensor, first. If not, the swap the cooling fan relays. Things that could be wrong are fan/s, fuses, relays, wiring, and the computer.

Fan in 2005 Vw Jetta 2.5 is causing battery to drain, Is there any fuse that I can pull to stop the fan from draining the battery until I get paid and buy the part needed

the problem with pulling the fuse for your fan is that your fan wont come on anymore therefore it won't cool the engine and your engine will probably overheat and that is a very dangerous thing for the motor. A temporary fix would be to pull the fuse and put in a toggle switch then you could turn the fan on and off manually. You need a toggle switch that flips on and off only. There are two connections for the toggle switch. Connect two wires to the toggle switch and run one wire to one side of the fuse and the other wire to the other side of the fuse in place of the fuse itself.

2002 buick rendezvous awd cooling fans wont turn on and car will start to over heat but if you put on the ac they will come on

First check fuse if thats good then check the thermal fan switch. If the fan switch is corroded its not letting The pcm know the temp.

My cooling fans will not come on with the ac on nor when the temp reaches as high as 235 degrees while driving..At first trhe fan would come on when i turned the ac on but when i tried to test the other...

On this vehicle there are 3 cooling fan relays and three fuses for the cooling fans.There are 2 in the under hood fuse panel and 1 in the instrument panel.You need to check the fuses and make sure they are all good.They get there input via the coolant temp sensor for the computer which in turn signals the cooling fan relays to turn on the fans.The other thing with the a/c clutch coming on and off.If the a/c system is low on freon this will cause the clutch to cycle more.If you can get a scan tool you need to monitor the coolant temp sensor to see if it is reading the same as the temp on the temp gauge.The other thing you an do is check for codes.Hope this helps and let me know what you come up with.

Fans not working it was overheating i replaced temperature sensor and it cooled the motor down but i had to connect the fans to a fuse to the motor for them to come on when car turns on

Your tempature sensor was probably the reason why your vehicle overheated but as far as hooking the fan to fuse to the motor isnt a bad thing its the same as installing a after market electric fan it will just keep your engine cooler.

Cooling fan won't come on, have tested fan and replaced temperature sensor.

First question to you is.. Have you checked the wiring or ECU codes?




check the cooling fan switch on the back of the block, unplug the connector and jumper.
2 wires, turn ignition on and fan should come on...

if it does-----replace the cooling fan switch
if it doesnt----- go to the cooling fan relay on the pass side inner fender
panel behind the headlight and check it, besides the fan itself and the fuse, those are the only things in the system.
