1996 dodge grand caravan The cooling fan nor the ac fan turns on they spin freely but no action How can you troubleshoot this?

Perhaps there is no problem at all with your car's cooling system! The fan(s) you observe are controlled electrically by a second engine thermostat which will turn the fan on only to support cooloing when there is little forward motion of the vehicle. The fan(s)are designed to turn freely in the rushing wind and will only turn on when your car slows and needs "wind" to continue the cooling.

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
