Can a blown fuse cause your AC fan to not work and cause overheating to the engine?

Yes, because it will cause your fan to not work at all therefore cause the overheating.


Why your engine overheated when you turn on the ac?

Obviously your engine should not overheat with simply turning on the AC so this would indicate that you are having problems with your cooling system. When the AC is turned on there becomes another drag on the engine due to the AC compressor being driven by the serpentine belt. I'd recommend checking your antifreeze level and looking to see if you have a leak from the radiator or a hose. Several other things to think about in relation to engine overheating are a stuck thermostat or possibly a plugged radiator. Engine overheating issues never go away and will probably get worse. Major engine damage can result if the engine is run hot for very long so I'd have this checked out at a reputable radiator shop as soon as possible.


Do the fans in a Olds Royale 1994 always run?

Only when the AC is on or if the engine is overheating.


What can cause the car to stall when running the ac?

An engine usually has a higher idle speed when the ac is running. If the high speed idle does not operate then the ac will cause the engine to stall.


WILL AN AC HVAC DRAIN TUBE AND GROMMET CAUSE OVERHEATING IN A DODGE CARAVAN?

No. The drain tube just drains the condensation away from the ac evaporator coil.


92 Toyota Paseo is overheating Fan not coming on unless AC or Heater is turned on?

Check the temp sensor. The control is not turning on the fan when engine temp requires it, so the most common cause is the sensor.


If your headgasket is blown if turning on the ac will that keep the motor cool?

If the engine is overheating, running the ac will make it overheat faster. The ac only cools the inside of the car, it actually adds heat under the hood.


What causes overheating when radiator and thermostats checked and OK and fan OK?

There are a number of things that could cause the overheating issue. If the overheating happens immediately, it's probably the water pump. If this happens only when it's hot, see if it happens only when the AC is on because then it could be the an auxiliary AC cooling fan that has gone bad.


Main breaker overheating when ac is on?

Problem with ac drawing to much current.


Does gasoline power the ac in a car?

Indirectly it does. Gasoline powers the engine which powers the AC. Without the engine running the AC doesn't work. Also on many cars the AC will cause the cars gas mileage to be lower if it is running at maximum AC.


Why is car temp gauge going up when your ac is on?

when the AC is on it puts more stress on the engine cause the engine has to now turn the compressor. which in turn adds more heat to the engine.


2001 Ford Escape AC consistently blows cold then goes warm after driving 15 minutes or so?

This is probably because of a relay disengaging the compressor clutch due to any one of several problems. Check to make sure you have the correct R134a charge in the system. Also check to make sure the radiator fans are running when the AC is on, and that your lines are not freezing up, particularly going to the evaporator. An overheating engine can also cause this problem.
