How do i test my fan in a 99 sunfire its a 2.4 im not sure if its workin or not..Whats a easy way to test to see if it is...
when im driving it stays in the middle then when im at idol it heats up more and im not sure if the fans turning on or not..it get pretty hot..Do i have to use dex cool
k i did that and nothing dont turn on anything else i can do
well when mine went out i had to replace the fan blower relay. its located under the hood in the fuse panel. try that its only about 8 bucks at autozone. after i replaced it my fan worked. good luck with it.
thanks i will try that 2 when does the fan usally come on anyways like when its about to hit the yellow warning or should it come on way before
it should come on about 225 degrees. but as soon as you turn your ac on it turns on. but if the car gets over 225 turn your heater on so it can cool it down.

that's only if your a/c is working. if its not, then the fan wont kick on. and to the op, you don't HAVE to use dex-cool, but, if you plan on using anything but, you have to flush your cooling system before you do. dex cool doesn't like to be mixed with other coolants.

yeah i know i should have not mixed that sentence in that state ment lol.
ok thanks..does it mater if my a/c is charged or not for hte fan to com on i think i got some wiring issues cuz my fan swtich wont work at all like no speeds soo maybe the conector in the back is gone..maybe i will remove my electric fan and try to test it cuz i wanna make sure it works..thanks for u answer
ok just making sure we are on the same page by fan you are talking about the rad. fan
yeah the fan should turn on if the a/c is charged or not. but since the a/c blower speeds are not working it may be the connections messed up like you said. sounds bad i hope you get it fixed.
ya for sure none of the speeds work even for the heater the motor wont turn on soo i guess i will have to see
Easiest way to check it is to take the fan out of the car. And run two jumpers from you battery or a 12v source on it. If the fan does work then it's a relay, fuse, or wiring problem. If it doesn't work then you have found your problem!
