Fan Stopped Working

gbelous · 07-10-2007, 12:53 PM

When I changed the radiator I removed the fan and after I put everything back I noticed it didn't work anymore. All the wires are hooked up and everything is back in place, so anyone know what is wrong with it? Do I just need to replace the fan motor or the entire assembly?
Another thought....at what temp does the fan usually turn on? I let the car idle for about 10-15 min and the temp guage was just under 1/2. Did I just not let it get hot enough?

try turning on your a/c, the a/c should bypass the normal fan control sensor and let it kick on, if it doesnt then try putting poweer directyl to the fan from the battery, if it comes on great, then the fan works and its not the fan motor. if fan motor is ok then , 1st, you may not have let it run long enough, 2nd, the ects may be bad (the temp sensor on the head that tells the fan when to kick on. if it is the fan motor and you need one let me know, if its the sensor id recomened getting one new. let us know if you need further help, thanks!
