Hi,

There are two basic sensors that feed information to the computer, which in turn controls three relays that control the fan speeds. The two sensors are:

  • Engine Coolant Temperature sensor
  • AC Refrigerant Pressure sensor

Based on these inputs, the fans are either OFF, LOW SPEED, or HIGH SPEED.

I have provided a link that gives more details about the system

Good Luck, Greg

What would cause the radiator cooling fans to work when the engine is off on a 2000 Chevy venture?

Hi, If the cooling fans run for a few minutes after turning off the engine and then stop, the engine computer probably thinks that the coolant temperature is very high and is trying to cool that off. If the fans run on and on and do not stop at all, then I would say that you have a shorted control relay for the fans. So a little troubleshooting is needed for this issue. I have provided a link that describes how these fans are supposed to work and how they are controlled. Good Luck, Greg

After replacement of coolant temp sensor on 97 Chevy venture fans don't come on?

You will have to do a little troubleshooting to find out what the real issue is here. A scan tool that can read the coolant temperature may help, as it will show you what the engine computer is reading from the sensor. This is important because the computer controls the cooling fans through 3 relays, so that they turn on at the appropriate time. But if you see the temperature gauge changing once the engine starts to warm up, then the temperature sensor is probably working, as the computer also controls that gauge. I have provided a link that gives more details about the engine cooling fans and how they should work. Good Luck, Greg

Where is the fuse box for the radiator fan?

If you are referring to a late-model Chevy Venture (or similar Chevy), the relays (there is more than one) that control the fans are located in the under hood fuse box. I have included a link to one such fuse box, which has pictures and diagrams of the fuses and relays inside. Good Luck!


Chevy venture low side ac service port location?

Low side service port is just behind the condenser and radiator fans and just in front of the front exhaust manifold. It is a booger to get things hooked on when the engine is hot! Be careful.
