You may need to check your ground to make sure its connected. Many people have to end up rerouting it b/c it comes loose. Check the relay and fuse under the hood.
One kicks on for normal cooling, they both kick on when the air conditioner is turned on.
I had that problem in my 84 and it turned out to be the cable itself
Cooling fan should come on either when coolant temperature reaches 235 degrees or the A/C or defroster is turned on
I had a problem with the cooling fans not coming on when the car was at rest.... so when i would stop at lights the temp would start rising... i ended up working out you can override the faulty circuit by turning on your a/c when you pull up and that overrides it and they turn on and no more over heating..
It is not supposed to be on when engine is running unless there is a problem.
coolant temp switch or fan relay are bad.
Most cooling fans will stay on for a minute or so after turning off the car in warm weather. If they stay on past a minute or so, then there is a problem.
Is the selenoid getting power when the switch is turned to the start position? If yes, it's not a switch problem. Is power coming THROUGH the switch and to the starter when the key is turned to start? If not, it's a selenoid problem. If yes, it's a starter problem.
You can, but you still have a cooling problem that needs rectification.
Hi Same problem with mine, after replacing water pump, thermostat I still had a problem. It turned out that my cooling fan was not working. When the motor was hot the fan didn't run, you should check yours. The AC fan will run when it is turned on so check that too.
It is probably your cooling fans. These are electric and may run with the engine turned off. It is probably your cooling fans. These are electric and may run with the engine turned off.
The 2nd fan on this car is for extra cooling when the AC is turned on, if you turn on the AC both fans should run; the relay is the first place to look if that fan is not coming on.
