First make sure the fan works by making a jumper wire by unplugging the fan run two wires to the
fan plug then hook it up to the battery if the fan comes on then you need a temperature censor switch that is what turns the fan on

hope this helps you
good luck

If you have the 1.9 liter engine...
There is a coolant temperature sensor located on the drivers side cylinder head, and if this goes bad, you fan won't run.
You can test this with a live data scanner to verify the issue.

2009 chevy hhr speakers don't work and a/c radiator fan won't come on

What engine does it have ?

Cooling Fan Control 2.0L
The engine cooling fan is a variable speed fan. The engine control module (ECM) controls the fan speed by sending a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal to the cooling fan control module. The cooling fan control module varies the voltage drop across the engine cooling fan motor in relation to the PWM signal. The cooling fan speed can be adjusted from 10 percent to 94 percent duty cycle. 94 percent is considered high speed fan.
Cooling Fan Control 2.2L or 2.4L
The engine cooling fan system consists of one cooling fan and one relay. Voltage is supplied to the relay through a fuse. The engine control module (ECM) controls the fan operation by grounding the cool fan relay control circuit. When the cool fan relay is energized, voltage is delivered to the cooling fan motor. The cooling fan motor is grounded through its own ground circuit.
When the request for fan activation is withdrawn, the fan may not turn OFF until the ignition switch is moved to the OFF position or the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 10 mph. This is to prevent the fan from cycling ON and OFF excessively at idle.


Just one speaker doesn't work ? Do you know how to do automotive electrical testing ? That's how to find both your problems . Speakes work by electrical inpluse's . The A/C radiator ( condenser ) fan also works by B+ voltage through a fuse an a relay , controlled by the engine electronic control module or PCM - powertrain control module . When you push the A/C turn on button , it sends a signal to the PCM . The PCM will then energize the radiator fan relay turning on the fan . Check fuse in the under hood fuse box , If the fuse is blown you have a electrical short , too much current flow . Plus if the PCM sees too much pressure in the A/C system it will not let the A/C work .

Only 1 fan working on my 94 caprice what is the problem

Well, it all depends...

One is called an "A/C Condensor Fan". This one comes on whenever the air conditioner is running. The other one is the radiator cooling fan. This one comes on when the engine temperature reaches a certain point and the engine computer commands it to come on.

If either of these fans fail to work at all, the circuits must be diagnosed to locate the problem. It could be a bad fan motor, a bad fan control relay, a malfunctioning engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor, or broken wires or loose connections between any of the components.
Low engine coolant (antifreeze) can even keep a radiator cooling fan from working (the ECT will not work correctly if the engine coolant is low).

1996 Honda Odyessey engine cooling fans don't come on and engine on and engine temperature tends to go up. it will only come on when the AC is switched on. i do not need to run the AC all the time but i...

Check all fuses first. if the fuses are okay, disconnect the engine cooling fan connector and using jumper wires, connect the fan motor directly to the battery and ground. If the fan still doesn't work, replace it. If the fan does work, its relay may be faulty. Check in the engine compartment fuse box for the cooling fan relays. Try switching the cooling fan relays and see if the engine fan comes on and the a/c condensor fan stops working. If so, the engine cooling fan relay is faulty. If the engine fan still doesn't come on with a good relay, then check the engine temperature switch located at the passenger end of the front cylinder head. It is supposed to switch (have continuity) when the engine temperature reaches 205 deg F. You can remove the switch and put it in a pot of close to boiling water (212 deg F). If it doesn't have continuity at that temperature, it is defective.
