cooling/radiator fans

[Gotz Cb7]

So, once again, another infamous question!! So, none of my fans work. They just kinda....quit. Been hearin' about checkin' the relay fuse in the fusebox under the hood. Can't really tell if it's bad or not, not sure how...but I have power windows, and I swapped the power window relay, and the cooling fan relay, and it works my windows....so overall, the relay fuse is still good. Any other reasons these fan(s) aren't working? I have my radiator fan hooked to a toggle right now, both fans still run...but they won't automatically come on when they're plugged up the right way.

Bring it back the way it used to be. Why toggle switch the fan anyway?

[Gotz Cb7]

Both the fans work. The motors aren't bad on them, but some kinda sensor must be bad, cause they won't turn on when they're plugged into the engine harness the way they should be.

mine did the same thing too i just wired them so they turn on when the car is on

How exactly did you do that man? Cause I'm waitin' for my next check, so I can buy a new radiator and both fans, but that's next week, and it keeps roastin' this toggle switch.

behind your distributor there is a green connector unplug it then jump the wire
when you turn the key to the on position it will turn both fans on......also when you get your new fans you might as well buy a thermostat too

you check the fan timer under the dash? Or the thermo switch on the thermostat housing?

Yea, whether the fans are running or not, the car still gets kinda warm, but it doesn't actually overheat. It'll get up to about 6/8 - 7/8 up there, then eventually cool itself down. Like, the thermostat ain't workin' right, but it's brand new. The mechanic put a new one in the engine when he put it in the car. New waterpump also.

thermo switch on the thermostat housing?
