95 overheating V6

My camaro is overheating I would think because my fans are not kicking on. My temp guage is going up to 3/4 and they wont kick on. I ran some wires strait to the battery to test the fans they work fine. But they are not kicking on. So I think thats why its overheating. I changed my thermestat, and a relay for cooling fan, or cooling fan number 1 im drawing a blank on that at the moment.

Neither fan works now, right? Do you have working A/C? Do they come on when the A/C is on?

Thats what i found funny there is not two fans. I dont even see space were another fan could go. There is working a/c. The fan that is there is the one closer to the engine block. and in the relay box there is like three relays for fans but only fan one has a relay spot. fan 2 and fan 3 relay spots done even have connectors.

OK, but does the fan come on with the A/C?
Any check engine light?

No fan will not kick on with the a/c on. and the car was cold. then drove to try to get autozone to do the obd thing and they dont have obd 1 they only have the obd 2. and tried the a/c when car was hot still didnt kick on.

How about the wiring to the fan?

If you search here you can find out how to get codes on your own with no special tools. It is not very hard.

and no the check engine light is no on.

What do you mean by codes with no tools or anything. Cause I dont own a code reader. Are you talking like how dodge if you turn the key three times the check engine light will flash a certian number of times and then you look it up in the manual to see the problem?

Exactly. There is the connector under the steering wheel area. You jump 2 terminals with a paper clip and the codes will blink out. Maybe goto autozone website They may have instructions and code defs.

Well that is nifty. I will try to look into that. If you know a link on the forum that tells how to do it will you post it for me? That would be nice. But ill try to do my own search.

Yea found the info but it dont have the right connector. Its the 16 pin one. So to the far top right there is a pin then going left no pin then pin.

If there is no light, it really doesn't matter right now. You really need to trouble shoot the cooling fan circuit. You know the fan works. Read the replies in this post. It is the same concept just for a fuel pump, not a fan.

I didnt get anything from that link. Like dont get what you are trying to tell me by it. Im dealing with my fan not fuel pump or injectors.

The same technique applies. If you have no power at the fan you have to make sure the wiring is good. You could just buy an ECM or CoolantTempSensor swap and see. You have a test light or volt meter? You need to find out where you are loosing the voltage. Test for power at the relay.

yea dont have the volt meter ill have to pick one up tomorrow cause I dont think wal mart carries them. But they might. I just bought a new relay for it though so think the relay will be fine.

Walmart would have something I bet. The relay could be fine but the power runs through wires. You have to verify voltage where it should be.

Ok like the wires going to the relay and after the relay. Also the wires going to the fan.

I would take the old relay that you know is good, and pry the cover off of it. There should be a little steel arm with contact points on it. Its like the old points system arm in a distributor.
I would turn the key on, then plug the modified relay in, use either your finger or something not electricially conductive to manually push the arm over. (don't let the uncovered relay touch anything metal while its plugged in) If the fan works when the arm is pushed its a signal problem. (temp switch etc) if the fan does not work, then its probably on the fan power side itself.

Just a way I found easiest/quickest to isolate which side of the circuit your dealing with....maybe you could use that in this case....

Sounds tricky but sounds pretty good i will give that a shot. But now im dealing with my anti theft thing to.

hello, first time on here.. i have a problem kind of like yours but, my a/c and fan stopped working i have no idea what happen with it... any help thanks
