One of my fans stopped working so i figured i would just upgrade them both..what would be the best bang for my buck on these?

 

Should i do 1 good single fan or should i stick with dual fans?

 

how did it stop working ?

 

I have no idea, it doesnt kick on, the fuse is fine..maybe its just a relay? but idk how to check relays

 

relays of the same color can be swapped to test function
fuses from spare section of fusebox can be used too!

driver fan is fan temp sensor controlled--very common failure usually starts by fan running more than 2 minutes at shutdown and not always when needed so temp runs a bit hot

passenger fan is tied to the AC On

you need both, they are actually different when you look close

if driver fan, spin by hand--free? use jumper wire for power to ck operation
can use plug from other fan and turn ac on to ck (Ive heard but not tested)

 

driver fan sensor for your year is on pass lower corner of radiator and screws in=
easy diy

if the fan spins by hand I would start with that part

 

My driver side fan spins with a/c =\

 

and what does the pass side fan do with ac on?

 

i need to check this

when i turn my car off no fan comes on...

 

the passenger fan never kicks on..so weird anyone else ever have this problem?

 

its usually the sensor,,if the power swap makes fan operate
if power wont make it run, fan motor

you may not notice slight noise of fan operation when you get out of your car

let it run with hood up, after 5 minutes or so it should run and go off

 

think your car was in an accident sometime?, and put together wrong with the wire?

 

never in a accident....today it was crazy hot outside and i took her for a spin and turned the AC on...and both fans came on....i turned the AC off and both went off...turned the car off and i was around for 2-5 minutes and no other fan came on....

any guesses ?

 

ac off- letting it idle,,does the driver fan come on?
If not replace the fan sensor

 

do you know or can post a link to where the fan sensor is ?

will check this today thow....thanks...

 

99 by thermostat
00+ passenger side lower corner of radiator
sensor one of the most common things to go out

 

the car has to be really warm from drive have the fan run after shutdown
running it a few minutes wont generate enough heat to cause a temp spike and operate fan

 

^^^ thats what I figured coz the fan does turn on when the AC goes on, so it is working but will have to take her for a long drive one of these days LOL....

also both the fans move freely....when the car is off, i can turn them by hand....just FYI

 

had this issue awhile back just the passenger condenser fan turns on when i turn the AC and the temp is close to overheating happens to be a blown driver side fan motor. Best bang for the buck get a replacement fan motor at autozone for $45 bux.

 

Why not just get the whole fan with the motor already on it for $45 bucks? I didn't even try the sensor, my pass fan wont come on with the A/C so I bought a new one.....hope it wasn't a waste of $50!

 

Its better to use the OEM fan and assembly for proper fitment and quality not sure about the whole cheap aftermarket unit prolly the same.

 

I would like to see your proof of that! aftermarket fan motor is made to bolt up, Ive used them for years. blade transfer can be a pita on some

if the above posters would state place of purchase and price- with blade or just motor
thank you

 

yee
ac fan is set up on a different system

I Ebayed mine...but this is prob the same

 

thats a deal if you can wait for it
many have exhausted their overheat limits and need to fix today!

 

Yeah I hear ya, mine was the A/C fan...it only gets hot if i drive 30 minutes or so with the A/C on. I dont use the A/C much anyway but I was afraid it would put more stress on the main fan because from what I understood it also comes on as a back-up fan on hot days? Now I think my fuel pump is dying...DAMMIT. On the bright side, I'm picking up a full OEM lip kit with a Wings West flush mount tomorrow morning for $300. There is a God after all!
