Ok lately my car has been overheating alot and i've narrowed it down to the fact that my cars fan isnt working at all! Now i dunno what could have caused this but its not cool. Is there a fuse that controls this that could have blown? or is this a common problem with our fans goin bad?

 

Under your hood in the fuse box. If you are standing on the driverside looking at it it is the second row from the left (small fuses) and the closest one to the fender.

 

is there a manual or book that has the nmes of all the fuses?

 

yeah but i lost it

 

It could be the fan, or it could be the sensor that turns the fan on, or it could be the fan relay switch. I would check all 3 before you go buying any parts.

 

What book is it? i need to get some kind of manual for my car.

 

The fan is the easiet to diagnose. Just disconnect the harness and take two wires. Attach the + to the + on the fan and the- on the fan to ground. It should kick on. If it doesn't, that's the problem.

If it does go on,then it's either a relay or fuse. The actual fan switch doesn't usually go out unless you've messed with it recently.

 

ok well i just jump started the fan and it works so which are the fuses/ relay that control this thing. I dont have my owners manual so i cant figure it out

 

Sorry I gave bad directions to the right fan fuse it is the top center one as you look at it from the drivers side. It should be a 50 or 60 amp fuse.

 

yep replaced it and its ok now
