Cooling Fan

Is the cooling fan supposed to operate when the A/C is on? How hot must the engine get before the fan turns on?

Re: Cooling Fan

The fan comes on whenever you have the A/C on. There are two sensors that measure the temperature of the coolant. One sensor operates the temperature gauge in the instrument cluster and the other sensor turns on the fan. If the sensor for the fan is bad the fan will operate all the time even if the A/C is turned off. The radiator cooling fan will come on when the temp gauge gets just to the right of center.
