Usually there is a fan relay that is controlled by the engine computer. The relay coil is usually fed 12 volts and the return (ground) wire is grounded by the computer to energize the relay. The relay is there to handle the high amperage current that runs the cooling fans. Problems in this area can be caused by the relay being bad or the power source for the fans being absent.

What turns cooling fans on on 2000 focus?

In a 2000 Ford Focus, the cooling fans are activated primarily by the engine's temperature. When the engine reaches a specific temperature threshold, the engine control module (ECM) sends a signal to the cooling fan relay to turn the fans on. Additionally, the air conditioning system can also trigger the fans to run when the A/C is activated, regardless of the engine temperature, to help maintain optimal cooling.

What would cause the radiator cooling fans to work when the engine is off on a 2000 Chevy venture?

Hi, If the cooling fans run for a few minutes after turning off the engine and then stop, the engine computer probably thinks that the coolant temperature is very high and is trying to cool that off. If the fans run on and on and do not stop at all, then I would say that you have a shorted control relay for the fans. So a little troubleshooting is needed for this issue. I have provided a link that describes how these fans are supposed to work and how they are controlled. Good Luck, Greg

Have a 2000 Silhouette the cooling fans wont come on unless the ac is on?

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.
