What happens when a radiator fan is not repaired?
A/C will blow warm air or shut off completely at idle or in start/stop traffic. If the fan is not repaired and the condenser continues to overheat, refrigerant may start to leak, or the A/C compressor may fail. The Low and High fan control circuits are separate from the ICE module all the way to the fan motor.
Can a broken fan cause my AC not to work?
The same way your radiator needs airflow to cool the coolant, your condenser needs airflow to cool the freon that makes cold air. That fan is where the air flow is coming from, until you get up to speed. A broken fan may not seem like much, but it can cause overheating and of course your ac not to work at lower speeds.
Can a car run without a radiator fan?
Yes, your car can still run without a radiator fan, but you never should. Your vehicle’s cooling system is crucial to the engine’s performance and lifespan. Every time your engine overheats, you’re causing tremendous damage to the precious engine.
When does the radiator fan run on low or high?
Regardless of whether the fan is cycling on low or high, the gauge will stay at 9 o’clock. The cooling fan runs on Low when the coolant temperature is over 100C, and High when over 113C.
Is the radiator fan working when the AC is on?
no, when the AC is on they both seem to work , even when the temp goes up, or if you turn off the AC , then the fan stops turning. I found underneath the Thermostat housing a single wire going into the engine block, is this the sensor switch. I have no picture to tell if I’m on the right trail.
Can a car run if the radiator is not working?
Can I drive my car if the fan is not working? Yes, your car can still run without a radiator fan, but you never should. Your vehicle’s cooling system is crucial to the engine’s performance and lifespan. Every time your engine overheats, you’re causing tremendous damage to the precious engine.
Where is the switch for the radiator fan?
The radiator fan switch is located on the thermostat housing and if jumped should operate the fans. no, when the AC is on they both seem to work , even when the temp goes up, or if you turn off the AC , then the fan stops turning. I found underneath the Thermostat housing a single wire going into the engine block, is this the sensor switch.
Why does a small car have a cooling fan?
That depends on the car. Small cars typically have stacked AC and engine radiators cooled by a single fan. In that case, it makes sense to keep the fan on while the AC is running because the AC thermostat operates by manipulating compressor clutch, rather than the fan.
