Re: 01 Chevy Venture Cooling Fans & AC Not Working
2001 U-vans are patterened off of GM W-cars- which in their logic, the cooling fans wait until 175 psi head pressure to turn on the cooling fans upon a/c request. So if you have no compressor running- (due to loss of refrigerant and refrigerant pressure) then your fan(s) will not come on. The first thing to diagnose, is if you have any refrigerant inside your a/c system. Which from here it looks as if you don't- (because you state compressor not coming on). Fix the a/c and see what happens with the fans.
BTW 2001 and 2002 U-vans are notorious for condenser leaks at lower passenger side mounting bracket- if your condenser has never been replace (OEMs are aluminum colored, replacements are black in front) then there is where I'd look for leak first.
