Star the car, drive around for a few till it gets hot, then look at the fan and if the car is hot
you can hear it running and you can feel it pulling air if you put your hand by it.
To test the fan...use a 2" wire 18 gauge like the wires used in the harness for radio connector. strip 1/8 " each end. Now find fan thermocouple sending switch which is the second lower switch located on driver side or right side of engine towatd the front , near the top. it has two wires going to it , the other has one. squeez the black
connector and pull it off. Loop the connection(place wire, one in each hole) being careful not to let the bare wires touch. Start engine and the fan should turn on ok....If not it is bad. If it does and wont turn on when temp reaches 175 when connected to thermocouple switch, the switch is bad....

bad fan or bad fan relay
Saturn Shop Foreman here. Cooling fan relay, bad temp sensor, open in fan motor, if you jump last two terminals in the diagnostic connector you should hear the relay click, you can put a test light across the fan plug to test the circuit after you have done this, hope this helps
fan does not kick on . when wired direct, it comes on. could it be the sensor?
i'm having the same problem, the relay is under the hood, drivers side in fuse box.
Trouble code P1650 means: Cooing Fan Relay Circuit Fault
In cooler weather, the fan(s) will take longer to energize, or maybe not at all, depending on the ambient temperature. How do you know that they sensors are good? Try turning on the AC to MAX and see if the fan goes on or not. Those fans also do have both relays and fuses - check them.
This is normal for most cars, as long as it is not overheating and the cooling fan kicks on it should be ok.
You probably have a bad coolant temperature switch, this are fairly cheap and easy to install.
There is no Fan belt. There is a serpentine belt however. If this breaks do NOT run the car. This belt turns the water pump keeping your engine cool. You will have major issues if the engine overheats.
hi my name is rob i have had 3 of the saturns sl1 and sl2 the temp sencor is the problem it is near the air intake it is small round and long hope this helps
The squeal when you turn on the AC or heater is a loose fan belt. It may be cracked and need replaced, or it may just need tightened.
