Car is a 95Tour 2.0 DOHC. Fan doesn't appear to be running other than when the AC is on. From what I have read is that it is supposed to run w/ the AC on. The car doesn't get hot going down the road, but does warm up when idling. I flushed the coolant yesterday...took about 15 gallons of water to clean it out, so I know thats not the issue. I let it idle until the temp gauge was up to around a in normal, and the fan had yet to kick in. Whats the issue here? Thanks.
I followed the instructions in the above links, jumped both relays, and the fan worked both times. Correct me if I'm wrong...but this rules out the possiblity of a bad resistor. Also replaced the ECT today. Fan still does not kick on.
About how high on the temp gauge should the high speed fan kick on? I just had it up to in between A and L and the fan didn't kick on.
I really don't like having to run my AC just to keep the fan on, but untill I figure this out I'm going to have to.
I might try that next...the temperature gauge seems fairly accurate though, and I have yet to see a fan turn on. The temp gets high, I turn the air on, which turns the fan on, and the gauge goes back down.
my 98 zetec has the very same problem. i replaced the relay fuses the green and black ones. also the sensor ontop of the t-stat housing and still no fans. so im having the waterpump and timing job done. its time anyway for that. i am also looking for a wiring harness u might need to do the same. just a thought let me know if you get yours fixed and i will do the same .
I let it warm up tonight to about the L in normal, and the fan kicked in. I believe it was the highspeed fan. I may have get a hold of a thermo. and check some temperatures.
