they do for the ac they only come on when the engine temp is peaked about 210 deg
The cooling fans are the only cooling source for a air cooled engine.
Whenever the AC is turned on, both cooling fans also come on. Otherwise, during normal operation only one fan comes on when activated to maintain correct engine temp.
almost all cooling fans run temp to help get engine warm up very quickly and may turn going the road on cold days to keep temp up in the engine
94 Taurus never had a 3.3L engine, only 3.0L and 3.8L
In a 1999 Cadillac DeVille, the cooling fans are designed to operate primarily when the air conditioning (AC) is on to help dissipate the heat generated by the AC system. When the AC is activated, the fans draw air through the condenser, ensuring efficient cooling. Additionally, the fans may also engage to help regulate engine temperature, but if they're only functioning with the AC on, it could indicate a problem with the engine temperature sensor or the fan relay. Regular maintenance and diagnostic checks can help identify any underlying issues.
If the cooling fans in your 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette only engage when the AC is on, it could indicate a problem with the engine's temperature sensor, the fan relay, or a wiring issue. Typically, the cooling fans should activate based on engine temperature, not solely on the AC. You may want to check the coolant temperature sensor and the fan relay for proper functionality. If you're unsure, it might be best to consult a mechanic for a thorough diagnosis.
In a Nissan 350Z, both cooling fans typically activate when the engine reaches a certain temperature to prevent overheating. However, depending on the specific conditions, such as the temperature and whether the air conditioning is on, only one fan may operate at times. It's important to ensure that both fans are functioning properly for optimal engine cooling. If there's an issue, it may require diagnostics to determine the cause.
The cooling fans on a 99 Nissan Maxima will not come on if the coolant temperature sensor is defective. The fan only comes on when the temperature passes a threshold.
Only when the AC is on.
Hey Michael==Make sure the cooling fans are working properly. It varies with the make of car. GoodluckJoe
The engine temperature fluctuates some what because the thermostat is opening and closing all the time to maintain the proper temperature, the cooling fans both mechanical clutch types and electric do not always run at full speed and in the case of electrical fans only run when the engine is getting to hot. Most electrical fans will turn on at about 220-230 degrees and off at around 200-210 so the engine will constantly be getting hotter and colder when the vehicle is not moving but should be more consistent when cruising since the fans are not required. Temperature fluctuations can also be caused by engine cooling system failures like a failing head gasket which will pressurise the cooling system and halt coolant flow causing the engine to overheat. If your engine is not overheating and your heater works fine no excessive white smoke out of the tailpipe and you have normal fluctuations then you shouldn't be concerned about it. You may also be low on coolant from a leak in the system.
By fans, I assume it has more than one. One of these fans will run continuously when the A/C is on. The other fan should only run when needed to cool the engine down. In stop and go city driving in the summer with the A/C on, both fans may very well run continuously. At highway speeds, only the A/C fan should normally run. Sounds like you need to have your cooling system serviced. A complete drain and flush of the cooling system and a replacement of the thermostat may help. Also make sure the radiator external fins are clean and not clogged with bugs and debris.
