The fan directs air flow through the radiator so heat energy can transfer from the coolant in the radiator into the atmosphere.
If you have driven a long distance, your car will tend to turn on it's fan too cool down. It's not a problem!
TO COOL IT DOWN
On the four cylinder it is directly behind the fan pully. on a six cylinder it is behind the timing cover and is timing belt driven.
If you decrease the size of the driven pulley the fan will turn faster. You can achieve the same effect by increasing the size of the drive pulley.
It cycles the fan on and off to cool the engine to a certain temperature and to keep it from running hot
It depends on the motor. The fan is driven by an electric motor, and it can use a dc motor (as in a car) or an ac motor (as in a house). They are not interchangeable.
If the fan is attached to the engine and is belt driven, it is engine driven.
check the fan not attached to a pully make sure it is plugged in and look if it turns on when the car gets hot. if not then you have a short somewhere.
Its mostly likely a puller fan to cool the transmission of your car
Well, on part is the engine. It makes so much heat, there is a fan in it to cool it down. That is why whenever you start a car, it shakes. That is the fan turning on.
This is normal. fan runs until temperature senser says it is cool enough.
the radiator could still be warm or if the car is cool and it runs you need to replace the fan relay switch.
