I can't speak for that SPECIFIC car and model but on most cars with two fans, one is driven by the engine belt and runs whenever the engine is running. The other runs electrically and can turn on (usually) if the key is in the ignition. There is a relay and a controller that tells that fun if the engine needs cooling. On some cars this fan will run even if the key is not in the ignition; i.e. parked and the driver away from the vehicle. It should stop when the sensor running it decides the engine is cool enough.

Both fans are electrically driven and have two speeds. The fans operate at a lower speed until a certain temperature is reached, at which time they both switch to high speed. The two fans are always on the same setting: Off, Low or High.

Should both electric cooling fans on a 94 Camry come on when the car is idiling?

It is possible that both cooling fans coming on when the car is idling is normal. The fans are supposed to come on in response to the heat of the engine. So, if the car was idling for a long time, both fans may kick on and there are other conditions which would explain it as well. If it seems that the car is overheating however, you should have it checked out.

Iare both cooling fans supposed to work together on the Jaguar XJ8?

Yes, both cooling fans on the Jaguar XJ8 are designed to work together to regulate engine temperature effectively. The fans typically operate in tandem to provide optimal airflow through the radiator, especially under high load or when the engine is heating up. If one fan is not functioning, it can lead to overheating issues, so both should be operational for proper cooling performance.


Are both fans on infiniti i30 supposed to turn?

Yes, both fans on an Infiniti I30 are designed to operate as part of the vehicle's cooling system. Typically, one fan is for the engine cooling while the other may be for the air conditioning system. Both fans should turn on when needed to maintain optimal engine temperature and ensure efficient operation of the air conditioning. If one or both fans are not functioning, it could lead to overheating or reduced A/C performance.


Why the cooling fans stay on when you turn your car on?

unless there is something wrong with your car, the cooling fans are activated when a sensor in the cooling system detects that the coolant is too hot and that is when the fans turn on to help bring airflow to the radiator or just to circulate hot air away from the engine. if the coolant is still hot when your car turns on, then the fan will stay on as well. Also, if the AC is in the on position both the fans will run.
