If the smoke is coming from the electric fan itself, then it needs replacing. It could be the smoke is steam that the fan is drawing from the radiator, and you have a coolant leak at the radiator.
There is a temperature switch on the passenger side bottom of the radiator that has a wire connector attached to it. The switch screws into the radiator and then the wires connect to that. That switch is what tells the relays to turn the cooling fan on. If your fans don't turn and the engine is running hot you can test the switch using the following steps. 1. turn the ignition to the on position but don't start the engine. 2. disconnect the wire connector to the switch on the bottom of the radiator. 3. using a small jumper wire, jump the two wires inside the connector. If the fans turn on then you will need to replace the temp switch. If the fans still don't turn on then you will need to check the fuses, relays, and the fans themselves.
In the radiator.
A thermoswitch is the device by the radiator, that switches on the fan as soon as the engine/ radiator reaches a set temperature
Manual fan bolted to the water pump, the fan blade is bad. Electric is either the fan or the sensor that provides the ground. Run a good ground to the fan and if it speeds up it is the sensor. Many engines also use a fan clutch. This fan clutch can monitor the temp of the air passing through the radiator and adjust fan speed accordingly thus saving horse power, thus saving fuel.
No. It is an electric fan with a thermostat.
95 infinity g20 radiator fan does not work
Turn the AC on and the electric fan on the radiator should run.
Check the fuse and the wiring.
If the radiator fan is not working, it will overheat. One way to make sure fan is working is to turn on the a/c. My mechanic said the fan should come on when the a/c is on.
The fan should turn off after the engine is shut off. If it stays on, the radiator fan relay has failed.
Make sure all your plugs are connected at the bottom of fan.
radiator fan is supposed to turn on before over heating to draw more air thru radiator and over engine to assist with cooling if fan is not turning on soon enuff , you need a new lower temp fan switch
It is important to have a working radiator fan. If it does not work, a person needs to check the wiring and its fuse.
Radiator fan could be bad, fan relay bad, fuse blown. Also if your ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor is bad the ECM (computer) won't know to tell the fan to turn on.
The radiator fan may be smoking on your Mustang if there is a radiator leak. You will need to check the radiator to make sure there is enough water and fluid inside.
Are you sure it is the condenser fan that continues to run? It is not uncommon for the radiator cooling system fan to continue to operate after you shut down, due to the fact that the coolant in the radiator is still hot. It is designed this way. Check to make sure you are referring to the correct fan.
