so my right fan (the fan facing directly on the headers) never works ... my left one works but after i turn off my car it stays on for a very long time to cool the engine .. i think it does this because the other fan doesnt work and cant cool it well .... and my dad said he bought a new fan and it still dont work ... i got 1 from a pull a part yesterday and put it in , checked the cooling fan relay and fuse ... and nothing .. idk why it wont work ... any help please??

A little help....what year is this, what engine.

Then, I always refer to a car as you sit in it (Left Hand Drive). So is this the left/drivers side fan or the right/pass side fan.

left hand drive so its the left hand fan .

Then that is the condensor fan. Check for power coming into the motor. Then check the condensor fan realy, right by the compressor relay-NOT in the underhood fuse panel. In your pic, its location is pointed out. Then there are the fuses....again you are looking/testing the condensor fan circut.....and you did put 12v directly to the motor and it works, correct...sorry, have to ask.

elliascool

i already checked all the inside under drivers side fuse box too they are all good ...

poorman212

There is a 15 amp fuse in the under hood fuse panel for the condensor fan, check it. Then is power is coming out of that, check the relay.

Your car has a radiator fan timer on the passenger side under the dash. If this is having problems it may cause the passenger side fan to stay on after turning off the car for an extended period of time. The fan on the driver's side should only be on when your AC is on.

poorman212

94dx- not sure what you have, assume a 94....BOTH fans should run when the car is on and gets to temp. BOTH fans should run when the AC is on. Only ONE runs when the car is off and thermo b gets to around 217* (going on memory with the temp).

So if you only have one running when the AC is on, you have an issue as well.

ok i rechecked both inside and under hood fuses they are all good so idk why the fan wont work ...

poorman212

That is one of the four things suggested to test or verify. What did the other three show?

Power into the motor,,,no answer

Condensor fan relay test,,,no answer

Fuses, so they're are good.

Hot wire motor, just to be sure,,,,,no answer.

elliascool

power into motor? what do you mean by that??
condensor fan relay i checked both under hood fuse box and the two relays that go out of that fan with extra ones i have.

hot wire motor? what do you mean??

elliascool

yea i tried everything and i cant find what the problem is why the AC fan wont work....

poorman212

Put 12v to the motor, jump wires from the bat to the connector going into the motor.....does it spin?

elliascool

into the fan motor? the battery? how do i do that? and how would i make it so 12v exactly go in?

elliascool

ok nvm i wired it from the battery myself into the conector and the fan turned on perfectly!!! but idk why it dont work ever , not when i turn on AC which has never gave cold air either .. my dad said there was a freon leak and it need freon now but would that stop the fan from working? and doesnt it have to turn on at a certain temp to cool engine too? not just when u turn on ac or what?

elliascool

i checked the relays with a bunch of other extra ones i have cuz idk how to hook it up n test the 4 pins... i try to hook it up with a wires from battery and the continuity checker but idk if i did it right or wat cuz the sound check thing from the continuity checker never beeped from any of the relays even the extras , even other relays that ik work .. so idk

Elliascool, Do you have a service manual? If Not there are down loadable ones on the net for free w/ a simple google search. Do you have an Ohm Meter? These are basic tools you need to work on your problem a Digital Ohm Meter can be bought @ wally world for less than $20. This way you won't be guessing.

elliascool

theres nothing i can find on why it wont work in the manual and yes i have one of those meters

Jmb106jr

In the manual there is directions on how to diagnosis problems w/ the fans it will lead you to your problem.I mean you no disrespect, but do you know how to use the Ohm meter you will need this tool.

elliascool

i looked in the diagnose problems theres nothing on the fans not running and in the book i looked on every page there was only a install and check on radiator fan not ac condenser fan ....

elliascool

ok nvm i wired it from the battery myself into the conector and the fan turned on perfectly!!! but idk why it dont work ever , not when i turn on AC which has never gave cold air either .. my dad said there was a freon leak and it need freon now but would that stop the fan from working? and doesnt it have to turn on at a certain temp to cool engine too? not just when u turn on ac or what?

still dont know why it wont work need some help please!

Jmb106jr

If memory serves me right the diagnostic flow chart for the condenser fan is in the A/C section of the repair manual.

elliascool

there is no AC section on why the ac condensor fan dont work , there is only a radiator fan part in the book the ac has half a page saying nothing but its against the law to use refrigerant and put it in yourself just says to go to a certified person and only talks about the ac refrigerant laws ! THATS ALL! NOTHING ABOUT THE FAN OR TROUBLESHOOT ON WHY FAN DONT WORK OR ANYTHING ELSE ON AC!!!!!!

Jmb106jr

Ok my bad, look in Electrical then Subsection Air Conditioning, then look for Troubleshooting, the Flow charts are there. Follow them it will lead you to your problem.

elliascool

uhm idk what book ur talking about i got
