that last blooper was concerning lol struggling currently with my 2003 civic.. this actually might be the right diagnostic thanks

That was actually a transformer that blew up. Really caught me off guard

Good trick doing it with the light bulb… also a lot of testers have LEDs inside, what’s not good because it can “trick” the test showing it’s good since LEDs consume less or almost nothing watts.

Hi Oz love your videos. Please look into why you sound so low. Maybe your recording volume is set low. Lol I got turn on my close caption on to read what you saying lol. Keep on with your videos they are great 👍🏼 Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday young man, I learned another way to test

[@ceige2207]

What is the connector that you replaced? The one that plugs directly to the fan? It didn’t look like that one was damaged.

[@nicholassarden5734]

Hello bro! Question: Can the a/c blow cold without the radiator fans coming on? My sister has a 2009 Chevy Traverse and everything else with the cooling system checks out But the fans won't turn on---- a/c is blowing warm air with compressor clutch engages

[@OzMechanics]

The ac will only work if the car is moving at high speeds. With out the fan working it can’t cool the leaking in the ac system

[@steveandrews8301]

If one of the two fans is working, should the other be working, also, at the same speed, at the same time? Or is it computer controlled and additive, meaning does only one fan sometimes come on, normally, and the second fan, slower, or only when needed? I've got one of the two fans that is acting sluggish when I first started the car, then stopped completely before the motor warmed up - not sure if this is normal or not. Thanks!

[@victorcervantes7122]

Hey I have a question I have a 09 Tahoe and my fans only turn on with my ac on I switched the thermostat and the temp sensor and still does the same. connections, relays and fuses all good do you know what could be the problem

[@slikballa]

Happy b day

[@PhillyDee215]

👍👍👍

[@oscarzurita9464]

HEY OZ, i was wondering in cases in which the radiator fan doesn't turn at max speed (needed when in traffic) fan turns but not to its fullest potential. Radiator motor has been ruled out what can be the culprit? this is for a chevy malibu 2019 similar to your chevy equinox design but in a malibu application (less space) any help would be appreciated.

[@OzMechanics]

I’m just going off of memory from older Chevrolets, the max won’t turn on only if it gets to about 240 degrees. Is the car overheating

[@oscarzurita9464]

@@OzMechanics the transmission is overheating because 2019 Chevy Malibu uses the radiator for cooling the transmission (a little mini radiator in the big radiator) so when in traffic and the fan needs to be a my full blast it’s not and the transmission overheats (only overheated twice)

[@oscarzurita9464]

@@OzMechanics no real damage to cars cvt

[@oscarzurita9464]

Problems with transmission present themselves in traffic in hot days when engine temp is at 205 degrees

[@oscarzurita9464]

nothing come to mind?

Hello dear, im looking for cooling fan circuit for chevy spark 2012 , can you help?

Hello. Mine is working full speed as soon I start the car.. should I remplace the fan? Aveo Chevrolet 2012 dizel. I think in America is sonic

[@fabianrivera4810]

I got a 2013 gmc acadia slt my fans won't turn on my tempeture inside the car its not reading nothing (ambient tempeture sensor )--°f any ideas?

[@leowilson1837]

Happy birthday🎂🤡

[@Kakaroth_3]

I have a same issue with my fan not working, so when i turn on the car the fan doesn’t spin and when i turn the ac it takes about 15 second to make the fan spin and it works for about another 30-40 secs then it turns off again and it stops spinning it does it a couple times on an off ? what could be the cause of that? Im planing on replacing the hole cooling sistem on it but just for future references if i can get some help ill appreciate it guys🙏🏼

[@davidb7180]

You provided no info about your vehicle to get a specific (or close as you can on the interwebs) diagnosis. But I would say that your ac high pressure switch is kicking on/off the ac clutch which in turn is turning the fan on/off.

Hapy berday may frend

[@JoseRodriguez-ud8mm]

Hey oz do you have mobile service?

[@VinnyMartello]

I have a 2000 Lumina and the rad fans quit working. I’m thinking it’s a relay or a temp sensor. It’s unlikely that two DC motors would fail at the exact same time.

[@estebanguerra2880]

whats up dude i have a 2018 chevy equinax im having a big problem with the car the radiator fan is not working i checked all the releys and fuses i installed a new radiator fan and still not working and it doesnt blow cold air please can you help

[@aymenmohamed1134]

👍🌷🌷🌷🌷😊

[@JoseHernandez-wb7ec]

I have a question if you can help me. I have a 2015 Traverse and I changed the radiator fan and once the new fan was installed it worked very well but the next day it blew the fuse of fan 2. and I changed the fuse and it blew it again, do you have any idea why? Does the fuse burn and only one fan works and the temperature rises a little but only when it is in parking or without walking the truck?

[@OzMechanics]

Hey there Jose. So normally what causes a fuse to blow is too much current when something is overworking itself or there’s a short. I would probably look for a short first because you did replace the fans already. Here’s a video I made on looking for shorts. Hope this helps kzbin.info/www/bejne/bV65m3psr9mBfZo

[@z28punisher42]

Just jump the relay to the fan, that should tell you if the wiring and fun it self is working or not

[@OzMechanics]

What happens if you jump the relay and it fires up, what do you do then ? And the relay is not the issue. It’s always good to properly diagnose a vehicle right and go through every step. Thanks for watching.

[@rosss11]

Bro was that gun fire??

Excuse me, what's wrong with the fan?

[@OzMechanics]

Did you watch the whole video ?

[@sandokan7027]

You know a test light is not the right tool to use, you need a multimeter to measure the voltage

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

What causes these connectors to get buggered up like that? Voltage spikes from the alternator? No electrical grease to protect the components? Inferior material/workmanship? Poor design?

[@OzMechanics]

Most of the time is poor contact on the connector

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

@@OzMechanics Thanks. Cant understand why the coolant fan and the blower motor acted up at the exact same time. I'm wondering if they are related in any possible way?

[@tjlimitless7561]

@@OzMechanics So did you end up just crimping the Butt-connector to bypass the burnt connectors? I have a connector that looks the same and was just going to cut the wrong plug connector on new fans I bought and the harness connector and straight wire with butt-connector instead of the plugs. Should that work? Any issues with that? Thank you, just subscribed! Know this is an old video but hopefully still able to see my question :)
