Great video I’m glad u not rushing to do things like most other repair utube videos do

[@thelDelta]

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

[@OzMechanics]

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

[@ericksanchezHN]

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.

Happy Birthday, Oz! Hope you have a great one!

Hey Oz I really appreciates your input on this video. I wish I was in Pasadena to take you my truck but I'm 6 hours away from Houston. Thank you for explaining everything.

[@OzMechanics]

Hey no problem thanks for watching

[@exmotorsports]

Oh Yes..the classic Voltage Drop test..I was hoping you would show how the test light would shut off. Nice work bro. Sounds like your starting your B-Day with a BANG...or someone just used the parts cannon. LOL Happy Birthday OZ

[@OzMechanics]

I’m sure it was the shop next door firing the parts canon lmao 🤣

[@manuelhe46]

Thats awesome when you do the detective work and find the true solution.

[@billrimmer5596]

Really enjoy the channel. Keep up the great work. So bad ground and melted high resistance connector.

[@wyattoneable]

Ah yes, load the circuit to ensure a good circuit. Classic move right there. Nice find on that on Oz. And yes, Happy Birthday buddy!

Do you have any videos on radiator fan balance or adjustments? When I turn the A/C on, and the fan start turning, there is a clicking/rubbing noise each rotation...?

Thank you

[@elgmichoacan818]

Are those only supposed to come on when the a/c is on?

[@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.

[@dpurozac]

Great video very well done

[@bjemdwbesq3]

Happy birthday (2 years ago looks like) Good video. Just wanted to know if the ac worked after fixing the fan?

[@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!

[@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.

[@j.r.3330]

Happy Birthday

[@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

nothing come to mind?

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.

[@Justin-uv4ji]

My fan stopped working on my 2012 equinox. I noticed in the front of the radiator, looking from outside is a connection for something not connected. Any idea what it's for?

[@themasterofnon]

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

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

[@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

[@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.

[@pablopablo6946]

Hello, maybe you can help us, 30 cars, we have this problem. The thermostat does not open and the fan works.When we change the thermostat, it works properly from morning to evening and in the evening it does not open the thermostat again and the fan works non-stop.What to do? What part will be replaced, on the other hand the car is working in every way.Please help us maybe.all chevrolet is 2011-2014 1.4 turbo

[@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

[@fernando1657]

You find a solución i have they same problem

[@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 :)

[@alexfakhri4386]

Nice video

[@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
