Why is the fan not working on my Ford Focus?

Why is the fan not working on my Ford Focus?

Unless the wiring issue is fixed, the fuse will blow again. The wiring harness itself can go bad. Your author has personally had a shredded tire completely pull the fan wiring out of his vehicle. It can happen. The fan wiring is some of the more vulnerable wiring in your Focus. You can test the voltage going from the fan relay to the fan itself.

Why is my Ford Focus heater not working?

If the heating and ventilation interior fan on your 1998 to 2004 Ford Focus does not work on speeds 1, 2, or 3, it is likely that your heater resistor is at fault. Replacing the heater resistor is a fairly easy DIY repair job. This video shows you how.

When did my focus Haynes fan stop working?

[The Focus Haynes manual has a small section detailing the heater blower removal and the location of the resistor pack] In my case I had the A/C and the fan stop working on settings 1-3 a few years ago. The local garage replaced the resistor pack and everything was good again. A month or so later the new pack failed.

Where is the resistor pack on a Ford Focus?

This resistor pack is quite awkward to get at as it is located behind the glove box and some ducting for the heated air. The reason it is there is that Ford use the airflow from the fan to cool the resistor pack (which can get pretty damned hot!).

Why is fuse 2 on my focus not working?

When the relay is closed, current is passed to fuse 2. Fuse 2 is before the fan resistor in the circuit. Fuse 2 should not receive power unless engine cooling is required.

Where are the relays on a focus radiator?

R15 and R16 are the relay locations for the cooling fans. This is an image of your battery junction box looking down from above for the 2000 model year. (It’s from your owner’s manual.) The relevant fuses are numbered 2 and 6. Check both.

Why is my radiator fan not working on my Ford Focus ST?

The fan stops working after sometime leading to rise in the engine temperature. Any idea what causes it? I had a active shutter grill deletion. Will it affect the fan? Replace the relay, it’s R12 in the engine fuse box.

Where is the fan on a focus 2.3 L?

On the 2.3 L, its on the bottom of the fan assembly, in the middle. Just follow the wire pigtail. Unplug it, and you’ll proably see the connector INSIDE fried, as well as the resistor side (both male and female side) 2.Check the 2nd fuse for the fan relay in the fuse box under the hood.

How many fuses are in a Ford Focus?

Engine compartment № Amp Rating Description 1 40 Main power supply to electrical system 2 30 Engine cooling fan (A/C) 2nd fuse 3 — Not used 4 — Not used

Where is the relay on a radiator fan?

The fan relay is often located in the engine bay’s fuse box, but the best way is to check your repair manual to find where it is located. Testing a 4 pin relay is often very straightforward. Remove the relay and give 12 volts to pin 30 and 85. Ground pin 86 and check if there is voltage coming out from pin 87.

How can I replace fan belt for a 2000 Ford Focus?

How can i replace fan belt for a 2000 ford focus 16 v zetec and how the fan runs on polley?picture show. 1 Open the hood of your Focus and locate the negative battery cable at the battery. Loosen the clamp bolt on the battery cable end with a wrench, then lift the battery cable off the battery terminal.

Where are the fuses located on a Ford Focus?

If a fuse blows again contact a qualified service center. The fuse panel is located behind the cover on the dashboard (LHD) or behind the glove box (RHD). The power distribution box is located in the engine compartment. The power distribution box contains high-current fuses that protect your vehicle’s main electrical systems from overloads.

Why does my Ford blower fan not work?

Worked perfect for about 8 months. The third time in the shop, the mechanic wired the blower directly to the battery and it worked fine so he knew it wasn’t the blower motor. He checked electrical continuity through the dash and said it was okay. He thought there could be a loose ground wire along the main branch of wires???

How long does it take for a Ford blower fan to work?

Next time, the mechanic again replaced the blower motor again and reportedly tightened the electrical connection. Worked perfect for about 8 months. The third time in the shop, the mechanic wired the blower directly to the battery and it worked fine so he knew it wasn’t the blower motor.

When did the AC go out on my 2012 Ford Focus?

I bought a new 2012 Ford Focus and the AC went out before I could get home from the sale lost. Three weeks later and 3000 mile on a rental car I am going to pick it up this afternoon.

When does the radiator fan on a Ford Focus turn on?

The cooling can on a 2012-2018 ford focus 2.0L should always turn on when the AC is on. 2. The cooling fan on a ” ” should turn on at exactly 105*C (at least min died) and then off at 102*C. Hold menu and start the ignition to go into test mode, scroll down to see the actual engine temp. 3.

Why are the fans not working on my focus?

The fans will not come on until the engine is at 115C. You can’t test the fans without the engine being hot. There should also be a fan diode. Diodes are tricky to diagnose. You can do a resistance test, but a diode will only show resistance in one direction.

Why is the diode on my focus fan not working?

The purpose of a diode is to prevent electricity from flowing in one direction while allowing it to flow in the other direction. This is so that your fan motors don’t push electricity into the system backwards. Find the fan diode, remove it, and test for resistance. If you don’t get any, then test it with the leads swapped.

Why is my Zetec radiator fan not working?

Check your owner’s manual or look up a PDF owner’s manual (guide) online and that will have fuse locations with circuit descriptions. The 2 common problems for the Zetec engine are the cooling fan plug-in connector gets overheated, cracks, and sometimes the wires simply break off. The second problem is that the cooling fan resistor pack goes out.

Why is the fan on my car not working?

-the fan is getting a constant 12v at the fan end of the plug. -continuity check done on both positive and negative leads of the harness was done, no shorts have been. i believe its safe to say the wiring side is all in working order, fan is receiving the constant power.

Why is the AC not working on my focus?

Since your AC doesn’t work, let’s assume it’s due to a low charge. Unplug your AC clutch, and secure the connector somewhere out of the way so it won’t get caught up in the belt. Now find your low pressure switch which should be on top of the accumulator which is in the fender under the passenger side headlight.
