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:
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
The 2000 Chevrolet Venture is front-wheel drive and shouldn't have a fan clutch. The fans are electric.
check the relay in the fuse box, you might wanna change them.
The cooling fan relays, there are three, are located in the fuse box under the hood above the battery.
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
Blown fuse? Bad relay? Bad temperature sensor Bad fan motors? Check to see if the fans are getting power if so motor is bad If not check the above
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
Usually ECT or engine coolant temp sensor. That's what tells the engine computer to turn on the fans.
Hi,The fuses for the radiator fans are located in the Under-hood fuse block, which is located just above the battery. I believe there are actually two fuses: COOL FAN 1 & COOL FAN 2. You can see a diagram on the link provided.Good Luck, Greg
A lot of fans of Chevy
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!
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.
