Default turbo timer, radiator fan

My radiator fan stopped turning on just recently, makng it hard to stay cool. It doesn tno come on anymore, and I checked the fuse under the hood, and it's good. Any ideas? It used to turn on, and now it doesn't.

happened to me and a lot of other people, never found out why.
i just hooked up the fan to an on/off switch then to the battery as a temporary solution.
i'd also like to know what it could be

it's not a solution but it'll work until you figure it out.
it's pretty budge and i don't recommend you use this for more than a few weeks...
just go to radioshack and pick up some wire, those little alligator clamps, an on/off switch, and some electrical tape.
just hook up a wire directly to the fan, run it through your firewall and under your dash, hook the other end to an on/off switch, take another wire and run it from the switch, through the firewall and directly to the battery.
fan goes on, fan goes off.
like i said, budge.

are you saying that your fan doesn't work after you put in a tt or it doesn't work when the tt is counting down? my fan doesn't click on when the tt is counting down, but works when it needs to and i always wondered why, but really didn't worry about it too much.

ok, well if it is working other times then i dunno what to tell you, it not working with the tt happens to a lot of people... but i had the problem where it just wouldn't ever turn but the actual fan worked, i never figured it out.

my fan doesnt work with the tt either. I just leave the AC on and sit in the car for a minute. Been meaning to find a way to fix that.
