Why does my car have 2 fans?
On many vehicles, there may be two fans: a main cooling fan for the radiator, and a second fan for the condenser. If one or both fans fail to come on, the lack of additional cooling provided by the fan may cause poor A/C cooling performance, and it may cause the A/C compressor to overheat and fail.
Do both car fans always run?
Both radiator fans should always run when the AC compressor is engaged. Both radiator fans should always run when the coolant temperature sensor in the bottom tank of the radiator reaches about 212*F.
Why does fan come on when AC is on?
The thermostat is faulty. If the fan and the cooling system are running when they shouldn’t, there’s a chance the thermostat may require a replacement. If only the fan is running when the AC isn’t, there may be a faulty relay switch stopping the settings you enter on the thermostat from being communicated to the fan.
Is the a / C working on the Toyota Camry?
This article applies to the Toyota Camry (1997-2011). A working A/C is one of the most basic, but essential, features in a car. It can make the difference between a delightful drive and a sweltering and miserable commute, so it’s clearly a high priority to fix.
Can a / C compressor fail on a Toyota Camry?
Although highly unlikely, it is possible for the A/C compressor to fail from general wear and tear. It’s very hard to diagnose this yourself since most other compressor problems are internal. It’s recommended that you follow Step 3 before having the compressor checked. The Toyota Camry uses R134a refrigerant as part of its cooling process.
What kind of refrigerant does a Toyota Camry use?
It’s recommended that you follow Step 3 before having the compressor checked. The Toyota Camry uses R134a refrigerant as part of its cooling process. As the refrigerant heats and cools, it maintains a certain amount of pressure within the A/C system.
Where is the White relay on a Toyota Camry?
Open the hood and look in the fuse box for the white relay. It should be labeled as MGCLT. Inside your engine compartment is a pulley with a magnetic clutch and the power for it goes through the white relay. If you start the car and turn on the A/C, the magnetic clutch should engage and start turning the compressor pulley.
