Electric fan question


Recommended Posts

Posted

Are both electric fans supposed to come on at the same time, or does one have a lower turn on temp than the other one.

 

I noticed today that only one was turning on. It cooled the car just fine, but I was just wondering if they should both be running at the same time.

 

BTW it's on a 94 GP with a 3100.

No, they're not supposed to both kick in at the same time. One is a primary and the other is a secondary. I believe the primary kicks on around 220*. Not exactly sure what temp the secondary kicks in at...

227* according to the FAQ,

 

The secondary also comes on if you use the A/C it will come on right away IIRC...

I'd suspect the relay or the wiring from the PCM if all of the sudden they both don't kick on, but it's much more likely for the motor(s) to be shot. It's a common occurance on GM's for the cooling fan motors to shit out...
