There are several possible reasons why your AC condenser fan may not be running. It could be due to a faulty motor, a blown fuse, a malfunctioning capacitor, or a problem with the wiring. It is recommended to have a professional HVAC technician inspect and diagnose the issue to determine the exact cause and provide the necessary repairs.
The condenser fan is more likely to run when the car is idling. So if it NEVER comes on when idling you definitely have a problem. If the condenser is not cooled, then your compressor could get overloaded. It may be a problem with a relay that is preventing the fan from running - or some other issue.
Common issues that can cause the AC condenser fan to malfunction include electrical problems, motor failure, debris buildup, and lack of maintenance.
Are the fans in front of the condenser running?
On a 2002 and later 1500, there is one fan for the radiator and one for the ac condenser.On a 2002 and later 1500, there is one fan for the radiator and one for the ac condenser.
The purpose of the AC condenser fan is to help dissipate heat that has been absorbed by the refrigerant in the condenser coils. It blows air over the coils to cool the refrigerant back down to a liquid state, allowing the AC system to effectively release heat from inside the building to the outside.
If the defrost is on, the ac will be on, and the condsensor fan will be on.
It is bolted to the driver's side front of the engine bay right near the AC Dryer. There are two relays there one for the AC Clutch and one for the condenser fan.
number of things. you could have a bad condenser fan motor. bad contactor or a bad run cap for the condenser fan motor.

It is important to have a professional HVAC technician inspect and repair the fan to ensure efficient cooling of your air conditioning system.
The outdoor unit only runs in the AC mode(unless it is a heat pump). If you have the system off and the fan on, the outdoor unit should not be on. You can run the indoor fan only without harming the system.
Freon in the AC system heats up very hot before it is sent through the condenser. The condenser is like a radiator, and is located right in front of the radiator of your car. As air passes through the condenser & the radiator , the hotter the condenser, the hotter the radiator will be. correct answer the temp goes up when using a/c as the motor is running at a higher speed to drive th a/c , therefore when idling the fan is not pulling anuff air over engine. a thrmatic fan will help with this
