Default One of the electric fans is not running.

Is this a bad thing? Should i fix it immediately? It is the fan on the front right if you open the hood. I noticed it just wasn't spinning today. Audipages mentions how to fix it but it makes no sense. It says we need to replace the body pins to fix it. That doesnt make sense to me. I dont get it. HELP ME PLEASE ANYONE. What should I do? There is also a electircal wire going to the base of the fan. is it possible its that that malfuntioned?

Default Conclusion (maybe)

My fan problem was simple. Only + wire was cut off.

Default What's the outside temperature?

If it's below 42F or so, the AC compressor doesn't come on all the time, so when it's off, the electric fan is off.

Is your car overheating?

Is there really a problem?

Turn on the A/C when it warms up a bit or turn on the windshield defroster. The fan should run always when the A/C is on.
