If fan is not coming on check fan relay, also you can run wire to battery and make sure it is working. If it turns on manually it is either relay, or temp sensor most likely. Another thing, if you have AC swap out fan relays they are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_link Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 When the water pump was replaced did the thermostat get replaced? As far as the fan, start at the fuse box and work down. If the fuse is good move to the relay. One way as was stated switch the ac fan relay and see. if you do not have a a/c relay, take a 9 volt battery and touch it accross two posts diagonal from each other on the fan relay. Try it one way, if that does not work try it the other way. On proper cantact the relay should make a click sound. If these two check out run a wire from the positve post on the battery to the fan, and ground the other wire of the fan to the car (doesn't matter which wire on the fan, the fan will spin either direction) If the fan does not kick on at this point then start to look at the sensor. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
