There are two fans on my 84 DL wagon. How do you tell which is the A/C and which is the cooling fan? Also, my cooling fan switch doesn’t work. Is there a big difference between the $20 to the $45 on eBay? Thanks 

On  my 92 Loyale the driver side fan is controlled by the engine temperature: the hotter the engine the faster the fan spins.

 

The driver side fan is an electric fan.  When you turn the AC on it suppose to come on.  It will come on also if the engine's temperature is too high and this will help the main fan to cool the engine off.

Thanks for the info. Gonna try an aftermarket fan today as the motor in my original one was shot and crumbling on the inside.

The one in the squarish cage on the RH side is the engine fan.

You can`t judge switch quality by their ebay price. 

I`d get the $8 one-same part.

My electric fan is also shot.  If you search Amazon's automotive section for 12 inch fan you will get plenty of results.  They are around 20 bucks or so.

 

Good luck,
