In the cooler weather we are having, they will probably take longer to come on.
The side effect though has been the temperature guage spiking big time. Only spikes during city traffic, not highway. Oil is fine, radiator fluid is fine. Just those stupid fans don't ever fire up.
The cost of repairing a radiator fan varies based on the shops hourly labor charges, and part costs. In general, the price will range from $80 and $180.
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.
Check the relay.
The IMPELLER on the water pump.The MIXTURE of Anti-Freeze to Water mixture.Blown head gasket.Correct TIMING.the FLOW on the Radiator that U already checked...
if your thermostat was bad your engine will over heat but it has nothing to do with the fan,fans are driven by a diffrent mechanism. try checking your thermostatic switch/ heat sensitive switch or sensor, located somewhere in the cooling system(radiator,engine block or thermostat housing) which is the one that tells the fan when to come on.(only electric fans)it may be faulty wiring
Yes One is called a "Radiator fan" and the other a "Condenser fan." The Radiator fan comes on when the engine coolant temperature is above 106C (223F). The Condenser fan comes on when you activate the Air Conditioning.
Check the thermal relay for the cooling fans.
they don't have a timer module for this year, the fans are controlled by a temp fan switch located in thermostat housing
The engine computer uses the coolant temperature sensor to decide when to activate the radiator fans. That sensor is the two wire one near where the upper radiator hose attaches to the engine.The engine computer uses the coolant temperature sensor to decide when to activate the radiator fans.

radiator is in front off the cooling fans ,in the front of engine.
yes,annoyingly ! solution should be comprehended in a recall
Yes, they should both come on.
Between the front bumper and the two cooling fans.
the temperature sencer tell your fans to turn on when the coolant in your radiator gets to hot
Low coolant, stuck thermostat, failed waterpump, plugged radiator, inoperative radiator fans, etc.
a 2000 model has 2 both are electric
