Check to see if you are getting power to it with A/C or defroster on

Try Hot wiring the motor to see if it is defective

Check fuse and relay

Check temperature sensor switch XXXXXXXXXXXXXX ANSWER XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX The temperature sensor works the light or gauge. The cooling fan switch works the cooling fan. If, when the air conditioner is "ON," the fan works then there is no need to hot wire it. If the coolant is low in the radiator and isn't contacting the switch, then the fan will not work. Open the radiator cap and be sure the coolant is full. You can have a full recovery tank and a low radiator and the coolant will not transfer.

Why does not radiator fan run when ac is of on an 2001 Ford crown Victoria p71?

Hard to understand your question! First, on the crowns with clutch fan and electric fan. When the a/c is off, just the clutch fan will run, if not then have it replaced, when the engine gets too hot then the electric fan will start, if not have the sensor replaced, or check the fan. When you put the a/c on, the electric fan will start, and the clutch fan will stop. Both are temp. sensitive. If the electric fan is always on, then the clutch fan will not turn. Have the sensor checked. I hope this covers your problem.


93 Grand Am Should the electric cooling fan come on when the engine is started?

In my experience, most electric fans come on when the coolant temp sensor signals the computer to start cooling when the car has run up to temperature. Another factor is the fan relay/fan relay control module. I think just the fan clutch type start up with the engine.


Where is the cooling fan swithch on 1997 Ford Escort?

The sensor that turns it on is on the water outlet. This sensor sends information to the Power Control Module (PCM) and it in turn sends a signal to the Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM) under the intake housing which turns on the cooling fan on high or low depending on if the A/C is on.


Where is the sensor that controls when the electric cooling fan comes on a 1989 jeep Cherokee 4.0 auto?

Cooling fan operation in determined by the Powertrain control module using inputs from the Coolant temperature sensor and A/C request signal from A/C system.
