fan

i was looking at my car this morning, and the fan you can see from the front end was not turning? whats the deal?

there are two fans, the auxilary and the primary. the primary is on the engine side of the radiator is is controlled by the fan clutch. with your car off reach in there and spin the fan, there should be some resistance. the fan on the other side of the radiator is the is the auxiliary radiator fan, if this is the one not running it could be a number of things... ie -> faulty thermostat, fusues, air trapped in radiator....


start with fuses, then thermostat, then report back and we'lll have a cup of coffee or something

the front fan should not run all the time, but only when neccesary.

were you up to normal running temperature when you looked?

If so i'd look at fuses fist, then your radiator temperature switch. Alas there is a resistor for the low speed operation of the fan that could be burnt.

btw, It should definitely be rotating while the air conditioner is being used.
