On most vehicles, it only runs when the temperature is high enough or the ac requires it.

Why would an ac intermittently blow cool air through the vents even though the fan appears to be working ok?
it could be the ac evaporator under the dash, it might be clogged its like a radiator the blower motor pushes air through it where the air gets cool
1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo - Why is your radiator fan not working and your AC blowing warm air after the engine gets to hot?
The radiator fan motor is electric. The fan motor fuse may be blown. The fan motor may need to be changed. The engine should not be operated when it is running hot.
Why does your 2001 CRV almost overheat when idling with the AC on yet is fine on the freeway?
Most likely the electric cooling fan motor in front of the radiator is not working. When the AC is on the cooling fan motor pulls heat out of the AC condensor which is located in front of the radiator. When you are driving on the freeway enough air is forced through the condensor to keep the engine cool but when you stop there is no air moving through the radiator or condensor so no heat is being removed and the engine gets hot. When you have the AC on check to see if the radiator fan is on, if not then either the fan motor is bad or there is an electrical problem.
What happens if you have no radiator coolant in your auto?
feeds no coolant to your engine, then air gets into your engine which will cause it to seize up and shut down, car will constantly shut off when temperature gets to high(dosent take long at all). will blow your gaskets and engine this way
What are signs of a bad thermostat?
Two easy ways to tell are if the motor takes too long to warm up. This means the thermostat may be stuck open. If the motor gets hot and the top hose on the radiator is not warm the thermostat may be stuck closed.
1965 mustang 289 you had the motor rebuilt after running for about 3 minutes it gets hot like the thermostat is stuck you removed that the builder replaced the timing cover it has a new wpump?
i have found that about 95% of the time on fords after rebuilding the motor that you need to replace the radiator and that will solve your problem.
Can a bad water pump make your car lose power?
definetly and run hot very hot when it gets hot immediately turn your car off or you will throw a rod or blow the motor up
What could be causing a 1993 Mazda MPV minivan to overheat while it is idling?
Low coolant? Cooling fan not working? Radiator plugged or dirty and needs to be boiled or flushed? Defective radiator cap? Behind the front grille is an electric fan motor. It is supposed to come on when you turn on the AC to keep the radiator cooler. If it's not coming on, and the car is sitting, the longer you sit, the hotter it gets. Once the car starts moving again, it starts to cool down. You could have a bad motor or a bad motor relay. I swapped 2 relays and it did the same thing. Got another motor from a junk yard, good as new.
1998 Cavalier overheating replaced water pump radiator fan motor head gasket temperature switch and still motor get gets too hot what else should I check?
You didn't say anything about changing the thermostat....and when you changed the head gasket did you have the head checked for cracks....But first, be sure that the fan comes on and maybe back-flush the radiator. AND when you fill it with coolant be sure to get all the air out.
What will happen to a 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser if the radiator fan stops working?
the motor wll get very hot very quickly when you get stuck in traffic or stop at a red light The engine will overheat if it's running and the vehicle is not moving. It will probably be ok on the highway, but you'll have problems when it gets warmer and you don't get enough air across the radiator. as in all cars, if the radiator fan stops working your car will more than likely overheat.the radiator fan is there to cool the radiator when it gets hot, and believe me it does get hot. that's why you should never try to take the radiator cap off until your vechicle cools down because the hot steam will burn you if you do!!!!!!!!!!!
If the ignition tumbler is worn out will it stop the radiator fan from working properly?
No most fans run off a sensor and thermostat when your motor gets hot the sensor turns on the fan or if there is a load on the motor the fan will come on.Other than you cannot turn your ignition on because of the worn tumbler.
When my car gets hot there is white smoke coming from radiator?
That smoke is steam. You have a leak in the radiator or a hose. Take it to a mechanic.
