Cooling fan operation

Featured Replies

I'm trying to find out the proper operation sequence for the cooling fans on a 2006 Baja turbo.  My primary motor went out and I replaced it and now both fans run with the air conditioner on.  I don't remember if that is the way it worked before.  Just trying to find out the correct operation pattern .  Any insight appreciated.

Both fans should run with the AC on. I believe this operation should be at the slower “quiet” speed. There should be a faster speed for times when the engine is hot/working hard with or without AC on. 

There may be times that only the primary fan operates but I’m unsure of this. 

Cheers

If you want to test the new fans, there's two green connectors under the driver side dash.  When you connect them together, it throws the car into test mode.  It cycles all the relays on and off.   You should see the fans go from off, fast, slow.  If you see only fast, it's probably a non-oem fan.  Unplug the green connectors when you're done.
