What would cause the cooling fan to only work when the air conditioning is on?

The Cooling Fans ( 1 Small & the a bit Larger ). The Big One Is For Cooling The Radiator For Normal Engine Usage. When The A/C Is On The Smaller Fan Will Run To Allow More Air To Be Pulled Over The Condensor And Radiator, To Better Cool The Water & Make The A/C More Efficent. There Is A Sensor In The Engine That Controls The Cooling Fan This May Have Gone Bad. I Would Begin My Testing Here First. Then Test The Fan To See If It Is OK. Hope This Helps

What would cause massive amounts of antifreeze to leak in a 97 Grand Am GT when the air conditioning is running but only then?
you may have a cracked hose ***Your cooling system generally runs significantly hotter when the Air Conditioning is running. This is due to the extra heat produced by the A/C condenser located just in front of the radiator. You most likely have a defective radiator or cap, or a very small leak in your cooling system. The increased heat from the A/C causes increased pressure in the cooling system, and the leak becomes more evident.
What would cause water to leak from plugs above the gearbox?
The only water that should be leaking from an automobile would be from the condensation drain for the Air Conditioning or from condensation out the exhaust pipe.
Do you need the air conditioning condensor to drive your 93 ford tempo?
No, the condenser is a mini radiator for the air conditioning system only. The engine cooling system is separate from this component. You just won't have any cool air!
The radiator cooling fan is not working on a 1998 Chevrolet Malibu Why does it only turn on when AC is turned on?
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
What would cause air conditioning to only work occasionally?
1. Low on freon. 2. Bad cooling fan or fan clutch. 3. Bad compressor or clutch. 4. Bad receiver drier and expansion valve / bad accumulator and expansion tube. 5. Electrical issues. 6. Controller head. 7. Relay/module. 8. Bad grounds. 9 ECM problems.
If your car is low on coolant does it cause it to overheat when using the air conditioner What else can cause it to overheat while the air conditioning is on?
Yes, low coolant will cause it to overheat without the AC; that is not the only reason that will cause overheating however.
1994 caddy sedan deville keeps overheating when air conditioning is on Does anyone know what may cause this Please help its summer and my kids and I are dying?
There are two cooling fans in the front of your car. Check to see if they are both coming on when it is overheating. If only one is coming on it either has a bad fan motor,bad sensor that tells it when to come on or maybe only a bad connection at the sensor. You may need a mechanic to check it out unless you know about how electrical systems work relating to cooling fans
What would cause a car to make ticking sounds after you turn it off and it was only driven for a few miles?
Contraction/expansion of the various metallic parts of you car due to heating and cooling, particularly the exhaust.
What would cause the air conditioning to work only in the high setting in your 1999 buick century?
Change your heat control sensor it mount on your heater motor on most models, it reduces the amount of voltage to the fan motor.
What would cause gas to be in the antifreeze reservoir?
The only possibility is a cross-connected line between the fuel lines and the cooling system, possibly in the exhaust vapor recovery system. A leak anywhere would be unlikely to enter the sealed water circulation.
Air is only hot on one side so where do i start to find cause?
Start by bleeding the cooling system of air. Google is your friend.
Which is more efficient in heating and air conditioning, gas or water?
You can only get gas heating and air conditioning. The gas heating and air conditioning is less because it uses less gas then how much water you would be using. The electricity for the heater and AC can be fairly cheep.
