id have to look to see why but what you can do is get new fans and hook it up to a toggle switch. when you hook the toggle switch up just flip the switch before it gets too hot
that my be caused by a faulty fan switch
The cooling fan relays, there are three, are located in the fuse box under the hood above the battery.
not 100% sure but under the bonnet to the left in a black box with all the other relays
it is either the cooling temp switch or the fans relays htere are two relay one for the regular fan and one for the air conditioning fan together they run about 80 dollars
In all probability it is the cooling fan switch. Before you replace it you need to check the fuses. The cooling fan switch is on the intake manifold.
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.
Yes. Most cooling fans are controlled by a relay because they take too much current to be wired directly.
the switch in the computer is what turns the fans on when the coolant sensor reaches 222 f or the a/c is on. its probably a bad computer
on the 2002 model, open the hood, and on the left side of the engine, there should be a black box, above and to the left of the radiator cap, remove the black box cover with your hands, and you should be able to access the engine fuse box. I think there are three (3) different relays in there that operate your cooling fans.
The cooling fan relay for the 2000 Lincoln LS is located behind the battery in the fuse relay box on the driver's side. The cooling fan relay controls the car's cooling fans.
Hi, There are two relays that are controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that are responsible for controlling the cooling fans. The PCM will switch the relays on and off depending on certain conditions, such as engine temperature and whether or not the air conditioning compressor is turned on. I have included a link to a site that describes the way that the cooling system works on these vans, which goes into a good amount of detail. Good Luck, Greg
