Having spent 27 years as a mechanic, most of the time they draw air from the front of the vehicle and pull it through the radiator and AC condenser. Put your hand in front of the radiator when the fan is on, you should feel a light suction, put your hand on the other side, (fan side) and it should be blowing your hand towards the engine. use extreme caution not too touch the fan blades.

Why electric cooling fans rotate in opposite direction if there is a change in current flow?

Cooling fans use electric motors which operate by magnetism. As the direction of the current flow reverse, the magnetic poles reverse and hence the change in direction.

When stopped the temperature gauge goes up to near high?

There is a good chance that your radiator cooling fan is not working properly. Some vehicles have a mechanical clutch that causes the radiator fan to operate when the vehicle is stopped or at low speeds. These clutches can wear out and need replacement. Other vehicles have an electric radiator fan that is controlled by a thermostat placed somewhere in the vehicle's engine coolant flow. Electric fans can malfunction and not pull enough air through the radiator to keep it properly cooled. The electric cooling fan's thermostat can go bad too.


Where is the sensor that turns the electric cooling fan on in a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport located?

The engine computer uses the engine coolant temperature sensor to decide when to run the electric radiator fan. It is located very near where the upper radiator hose attaches to the engine.


In what direction should the cooling fans turn on a Corvette?

Look at the blades of the fan. They are "slanted" one way or the other. They have a given pitch. The pitch and direction of rotation determine which way the air will move when the fan is on. Now that we agree on that, let's jump. Fans associated with a vehicle radiator are supposed to move air through the radiator in the same direction as air would flow when the vehicle is moving. They act with the moving air to help it move. They do not act against it. That's not smart. Fans in front of a radiator blow back through it. Fans behind a radiator "pull" air through the radiator. Think this through and it should become clear, it should make sense. It's simple physics.
