Manual fan bolted to the water pump, the fan blade is bad. Electric is either the fan or the sensor that provides the ground. Run a good ground to the fan and if it speeds up it is the sensor.
Many engines also use a fan clutch. This fan clutch can monitor the temp of the air passing through the radiator and adjust fan speed accordingly thus saving horse power, thus saving fuel.
If the smoke is coming from the electric fan itself, then it needs replacing. It could be the smoke is steam that the fan is drawing from the radiator, and you have a coolant leak at the radiator.
There are a few ways you could make your radiator fan turn on. You could fix the wiring for example.
In the radiator.
A thermoswitch is the device by the radiator, that switches on the fan as soon as the engine/ radiator reaches a set temperature
Not sure what a fan pump is, please give us more info.
The fan might spin slowly, or not at all. By not spinning at speed, the fan will not cool the radiator enough and the engine could overheat.
slow speed is for the A/C high speed is for water temp in the radiator
If the spinning is slow, I might suggest the wind as a possible answer but I'm not sure.
The fan is run off a thermostat. Even when the car is shut off, this fan will run until the temperature of the thermostat gets below its set temperature.
No, the radiator fan is electric.No, the radiator fan is electric.
There are several possible causes. 1. Check the fan. When the car is overheating, if the fan is spinning slow that means the clutch is defective. 2. When overheating, touch the upper and lower radiator hose. If upper is cool, replace the thermostat. 3. when overheating, upper hose is hot but lower isn't. That means the radiator is clogged. 4. upper and lower hose are both cool, water pump is defective.
Defective radiator cap Fan not spinning fast enough, if at all Clogged radiator
Driving slow for a long period of time on a very hot day. Or the result of another mechanical issue (such as the failure of the radiator fan or the fan belt).
The radiator fan is probably not working.
i hsd the same problem with my 1990 520i. replace the fan clutch. your fan is not spinning fast enough. if that doesnt work replace the radiator.
If the radiator or reservoir cap is bad it could cause overheating because the system will not build up the proper pressure. Also the fan clutch could be worn out which would keep the fan from spinning fast enough to cool the radiator.
