'96 SL Cooling Fan Not Working
I looked around for the sensor and/or relays that might control the fan
but didn't find anything in a short look. I don't have a repair or service manual for this car. Can anyone point me to where to look for the "stuff" that makes the fan work. Later I'll test the fan itself to see if it it faulty. I have a '97 parts car that may have a good fan and most likely wil have the controlls still good. That car was wrecked in the left front and I haven't had a chance to see if the fan survived the crash or not. Anyone know if the '97 parts will work on the '96 car?

Yes, absolutely certain. With the temp gauge nearly pegged and the radiator starting to boil and it still doesn't come on ever. Best, wes |

'96 SL Cooling Fan Not Working
I believe the gauge of a '96 gets the signal from the PCM, not a
seperate sensor. If that is correct, then the PCM should be getting the correct information from the coolant sensor. Does the fan run when you turn on the A/C? If not, you may have a bad fan motor, relay, or wiring. Sorry I don't have much information on a '96. I own a '92. Good Luck, James |

I didn't have the car here earlier today to start troubleshooting the problem. I'd still be open to hearing about where the relay and any other related components might be located. Best, wes |

Any > ideas? > > thanks You can buy a new fan motor for about $30. It is easy to remove the fan assembly and replace the motor. I bought the Haynes Repair Manual (available at Discount Auto Parts), which tells you how to do it. |
