Best Answer

You need to check the cooling fan relay and the cooling fan switch.




it only turns on when needed.
other then when you turn the ac on then its always on.

The reason the fan runs with the air conditioning is "on" is to keep the high side pressure down. Otherwise it would increase to the point of something blowing out such as a hose or the pop off valve in the compressor. If the check engine light is "on" the it will have a code referring to the problem
