Why are the cooling fans not working on my Silverado?

During high speed fan operation, both engine cooling fans have there own ground path. The result is a parallel circuit with both fans running at high speed. Important: The right and left cooling fan connectors are interchangeable. When servicing the fans be sure that the connectors are plugged into the correct fan.

Why are my electric cooling fans not working?

Electric Cooling Fans Not Working: 2007 Silverado LT 4.8L New Body… 2007 Silverado LT 4.8L new body style. Electric Radiator fans do not come on when engine is hot nor after turning off, will only come on when AC is turned on. Engine runs correct temp while air flows through radiator at highway speed or when AC is turned on (thus fan is on).

Why is the blower motor not working on my car?

My car has an automatic transmission. Hi There, The resistor is what controls the speed of the blower motor, not the relay. The blower motor relay supplies power to this motor when you turn the switch to “on” that can sometimes fail. When this happens, you may notice that you will not feel anything blowing out of the vents at all.

When do the Silverado Z71 cooling fans shut off?

After 60 seconds , if the coolant temperature drops below 101°C (214°F) the fans will shut OFF. The fans will automatically shut OFF after 3 min. regardless of coolant temperature.

Why does my Silverado fan only work on 3 + 4?

I have an 01 Silverado and the fan only works on 3+4, so a solution would be very helpful if anyone knows one, thanks It’s probably a bad blower motor resistor. I would replace the blower motor as well. Usually what happens is the blower motor gets worn bearings/bushings and pulls too many amps, which in turn burns the resistor out.

Why does my Chevy Silverado blower motor not run?

If the blower motor runs when all of the terminals were jumped together, it means the circuit between the resistor connector and blower motor is fine as well as the blower’s motor relay, but the blower resistor is bad and needs to be replaced.

Why are the cooling fans not working on my 2006 Chevy Silverado?

2006 chevy Silverado Electric cooling fans do not come on. Replaced all relays. Checked the fans by hot wiring them to the battery and they function. Other than the PCM what else could it be? Clicking this will make more experts see the question and we will remind you when it gets answered.

Why is my Colorado air conditioner fan not working?

It’s probably a bad blower motor resistor. I would replace the blower motor as well. Usually what happens is the blower motor gets worn bearings/bushings and pulls too many amps, which in turn burns the resistor out. This is a common problem with the Colorados like the one I just got rid of…

How to troubleshoot a Silverado engine overheating?

Troubleshooting your coolant system, when the problems are minor, will save you time and money in the long run. Allow the truck 30 minutes to cool down. The coolant system will be under pressure when it is first turned off. Open the hood to access the engine compartment. Locate the radiator in front of the engine compartment.

How do you cool down a Silverado truck?

Allow the truck 30 minutes to cool down. The coolant system will be under pressure when it is first turned off. Open the hood to access the engine compartment. Locate the radiator in front of the engine compartment. Twist the radiator cap counterclockwise to remove it from the radiator.

Why is the air conditioner in my car not cooling?

The most common causes of broken air conditioning are leaks or compressor issues. If your air is blowing cool but not cold, the problem could be a clogged filter, cooling fan problem, radiator trouble, or it could simply be that you need to recharge your AC.

How does a high speed cooling fan relay work?

During high speed operation the PCM supplies the ground path for the low speed fan relay through the low speed cooling fan relay control circuit. After a 3 second delay, the PCM supplies a ground path for the high speed fan relay and the cooling fan s/p relay through the high speed cooling fan relay control circuit.

Why do the cooling fans stay on when the engine is off?

Re: Electric Cooling fans staying ON when Engine is OFF. The powertrain control module (PCM) controls the low speed cooling fan operation by grounding the low speed fan relay control circuit with an internal solid state device called a driver.

What to do if your cooling fan won’t stop running?

The fan will discharge the battery quickly if left running. Open the hood and locate the fuse relay box on the driver’s fenderwell. Remove the lid. Look on the inside of the lid and for the mapping of the fuses and relays with their location. Pull the cooling fan relay out of the box. Replace the cooling fan relay with a new one.

How are the cooling fans in a car?

The engine cooling fan system consists of 2 electrical cooling fans and 3 fan relays. The relays are arranged in a series/parallel configuration that allows the powertrain control module (PCM) to operate both fans together at low or high speeds. The cooling fans and fan relays receive battery positive voltage from the underhood fuse block.
