2001 3.2 TL - I had the climate control on 72 and drove 3 hours and the AC fan stopped working. I waited for a couple of hours and it worked again. Does anyone know what's going on?

 

If you had the system in AUTO mode it may have reached the set temperature (72 degrees) and shut off -- much like the A/C in homes.

 

Actually, i thought that what it was also, but that was not the case because it got really hot in my car. Therefore I turned it to manual mode and it didn't work then either. I even turned off the AC and ran the fan only, and the fan still did not work.

Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

 

sorry, where in the ba do you live?

 

I live in San Jose!

 

I kind of have the same problem...It was about 96 in jersey last week and i thought i'd cool my car before getting in and driving it. i put it on 65 and about 5 minutes later it was blowing out hot air and my temp guage went up...i drove it for about 5 minutes and everything became cold and normal again...is this normal? should i get it checked out? it only happened once since i got the car in oct of 2000...

 

Do you have Navi or not?

 

Get it check out..........My A/C stop wroking, because my radiator and the passenger side fan broke. The temp gauge when up over the H I drove the car for a couple of minutes and then decided to pull over. Stupid of me. The car was taken to the dealer to later find out that many engine parts melted and heads got warped and bunch of crap. Total cost for the repair $2,700 dollars out of my pocket.

So I'm sure your radiator is fine, but what I'm trying to say is that be careful when that temp gauge goes up.........OK.

Go to the dealer and get it check just in case!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey ymckoon:
Did you have yours looked at. Mine did the same thing yesterday on NJ TP. Ran for about three hours and then the fan seemed to stop, but cold air was still coming out. I even tried to turn up the fan speed manually but it acted funny (hesitated to turn up). So I shut if off and let it go for a few minutes and it seemed to be OK?????
Let me know what you found out.
thanks

 

This is normal.
