fuse for rad fan

Z eliminator · 10-08-2009, 10:28 PM

My water temps and oil temps started to climb and i discovered that the main cooling fan was not on.
Can some one tell me were the fuse for the fan is? Is there a separete fuse for the A/C fan as it came on when i put on the A/C.
I suspect the fan control modual/
Driving at 80 kmh. the temp ran at 185. but in trafic it hit 216 .
I obsereved this with the cobb acess port.
Before i go to the dealer i want to check the fuses/
thanks

have you looked in the owners and service manual yet?

not trying to be smart, just asking

I looked and it only show the fuse box in the drivers side panel.
I was thinking that it would be under the hood. I even looked in the service manuals and could not find them, since the A/C fan works .it looks like it could be the fan control modual.

Sounds perfectly normal. On my car the fan triggers on between 214 and 216 degrees and triggers off at 202. There is generally no need for it at all when you're moving because, as you mention, the car normally runs in the 180's...

I don't think you have a problem.

are those fan engagement temps set by the ecu, if so, is there a way to set it to a lower temp?

Ha ha!....If it was a Corvette you could..But they run much hotter to start with.
They are ECU controlled typically. I see no need to change these as the Z runs very cool in general (Water temps anyway)

thank you. I found the fuse, it buy the Battery, I use the cobb and i have never seen a water temp at 216 before. When i put on the A/c both fans work perfectly. Its usally at 185.
