So, my radiator fans aren't switching on. I checked the harness conections and those seem to be fine. I am thinking because I have an intercooler blocking the fans they had to work extra hard and the extra effort blew a fuse. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you find out the problem and fit it? Also, does anyone know the fuse that is responsible for the fans. Thanks

 

If some one can help that would be great, it sure does suck only being able to drive once that traffic had died down. Not to mention I would like to get this thing tuned

 

Disconnect the fan switch at the bottom of the radiator. Jump the wires. If the fan comes on you need a new fan switch.

 

I have heard of a few ppl blowing fan fuses, so it seems like a common problem. And since its easy and cheap to fix, I would suggest trying there first.
The fuse is in the engine bay fuse box, and should be marked on the inside of the cover, or in your owners manual.
I would tell you which one it is exactl, but I don't have my car with me...
If you do find the right switch though, i would suggest just replacing the fuse anyway, even if it doesn't appear to be broken.... sometimes its hard to tell.

 

check the fuse, if not that hot-wire the fans to make sure it's not the switch or a bad connection, and also put a wire in between the power terminals in the harness for the fan relay.

 

Yeah, So, I want to check my radiator fan fuse but I am not sure which one it is. I guess I should by a helms but if some has one and can tell me which one it is that would be great. I am fairly sure that the fuse is the problem but if it isn't I may just buy an aftermarket one, I am sure I need the extra cooling. thanks for the help so far.

 

check the fuse box it has labels for each fuse.. tells you what they are. Interior lights, battery.. etc. Read on the top of the fuse box cover it should say it.. i cant remember off the top of my head which one it is. Are both fans out? or just one?

 

Yeah both of the fan are out. I checked both conectors and they seem fine.

 

Is the b switch on the thermo housing connected?

 

what is the thermo housing? and what does this switch look? also, I looked and my tubo is pushing in the plasic covering that protects the passenger side fan. This plastic covering is not allowing the fan to make its rotations. My question is: if one fan is blocked would it prevent the other fan from kicking on?

 

It won't keep the other from working. Look where the top hose coming out of the radiator goes to the block. Where that 2" rubber hose connects to is the thermo housing. I believe the switch is on the front and has a black plug.

Its #17 and #15

 

Wow, thanks, I will check that out. Also, I looked at my fuse box and all looks well but is there a black relay box that effects my radiator?

Checked the relay and it looks to be ok. Also, I believe at the same time my radiator we out my ac also stoped working, not sure if that can help find a links but that just poped into my head.
