- “Is my Cooling Fan the same as my Radiator Fan?
Welcome to Mercie J Auto Care, Where Compassion and Craftsmanship Come Together. I'm Rick Smith, ASE Certified Master Technician.
First of all let’s make sure we clarify what we mean by “cooling”. The cooling system on the car is what keeps the engine from overheating. You have a fan inside the car typically behind the glove box and that’s called a blower fan. That’s what keeps you and your passengers comfortable. Out by the front of the car we also have one or more fans. On many trucks we have a fan clutch which is mechanically driven by the engine. On most cars we have one or two electric fans just behind the radiator. An electric fan may be called a cooling fan, radiator fan, or condenser fan. For all practical purposes they all do the same thing which is draw air through the condenser and radiator. So the short answer is yes the cooling fan and the radiator fan are the same thing. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Clear, quick, concise, with physical examples. Fabulous video.
Excellent video! Thank you very much, that clarifies exactly what I was wondering 👍🏼
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Amazing explanation!
Thanks for this!
great info much love
Question: My car only has 1 fan installed currently, but it has space for a 2nd fan beside it (I imagine is the AC part, since the radiator part is more important) and I'm wondering if the AC system would be affected by that? Thanks!
these fans... can they run silently ? suppose i dont use them for cooling radiators but for ventilation, they seem to capable of creating static pressure and S blades for quieter operation compared to straight blade fans...
I am thinking of buying a 12v version, powering it with an 4amp DC adapter and expect 28watts of "not so loud operation" that can be used as a push fan . you think that might work? the cheapest i can find is 35$+shipping so help me out if that s a good idea.
I have a question. In nissan sunny 2007. while sitting in a drivers seat, where would the 7 blade and 5 blade position? mine is currently 5 on the right and seven on the left from driver seat view. I doubt its misplaced. Or it would not make any difference?
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
2010 dodge challenger RT Classic 5.7. Mine has two but can I buy two of the same fans or does each one require a different fan? Like the one you showed looks like two different fans.
Does the fan blow air to the engine?
nice. can u pls test the rpm of the 2
Thanks brother..
Any time
what direction should a puller fan rotate
Blessings to you to bro💙
Thank you for watching!
My question is 2015 f150 XL both fans come on at start turn the air conditioner on passenger side fan goes into high-speed driver side fan shuts down is that a normal operation or something else going on
Hello, Thanks for the video, I would like to ask if replacing the radiator fan, is it important to go for orginal part or go for a cheaper aftermarket part. I have a Ford.
Anytime you're going to consider buying a part, always check reviews to make the best decision.
I know people make Peltier air coolers/heaters for cars. Has anyone boosted motor cooling by having a 12v peltier powered array heat exchange coil inside the return hose? Is that a good idea, radiators are kind of heavy?
Good answer
Thank you!
Blessings to you too
:)
So my car only uses one , is it ok if I put a dual Electric fan ? Is a corolla form 93 ae101
I have a Camaro 2015 LS and I have a two fan system (like the one on 1:24). Only one of them (the driver side one) turns on when my A/C is on. The other one does not. I only see it turn on when the heater is on. I already replaced two relays (K613 and 44. Low fan relays).
In order to have both fans on at the same time, do I have to fix something else? I noticed all this because my A/C would blow at room temp or so whenever I would idle for a while but get cold again when I drive
I have the same issue. Did you find any solution?. If so, i would appreciate if you tell me.😊
👍
Does the electric radiator cooling fan supposed to engage as soon as you turn on the a/c switch?
Depends on the vehicle
Thanks
Anytime!
I took out the relays to my radiator fan and it stays on with or without them being plugged in with the engine shut off. I have to unplug my battery in order to keep the fan from running out the battery. Is the fan supposed to run with its relays unplugged?
Disconnect battery
@ Mercie J Auto care, llc. My car is a 2016 Hyundai Accent and have only one radiator fan for cooling the engine and ac i would like to know how can i check if the fan is on after i turn on the ac?
If AC Compressor is on, the fan should be running.
Hi Mate !I have a honda CRV 2005 ,it has a temperafure 2 swnsor issue fix the issue erase code now all good.when fitting both fans in fans didn't turn on.unplug the sensor both fans comes on via ignition and off again.Is there anything i miss in here?
Did you allow the engine to reach a temperature for the fans to kick on?
Just wondering, car with 2 fans why it has different number of blades?
Here's an answer to your question! th-cam.com/video/RTC9cqDA8wQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UIaTe-AF1jUnxLXV
Ok so when the car has only one fan, how it compensates when turning on the A/C?
Some models run the fan at different speeds under different conditions.
I have a 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6L R Limited. Both fans got extremely hot and melted just about everything in the Cooling Fan Shroud. they were mounted to including the fan blades. The fan motors were fused to the Cooling Fan Shroud. In less than 60,000 miles how could that happen? It left my wife stranded 50 miles from home.
We're sorry to hear about that. Without seeing the vehicle, we can't diagnose it.
Can I use a radiator fan on my house AC unit??
We're no HVAC Professionals but we do not recommend this.
Can I drive a car with two radiator fans but only one works for now
Same
When I only turned on AC one works but not the other one
Which way should the radiator fan spin on a 08 Honda civic ?. Anyone can help me out thanks.
Place a paper towel in front of the car and it should suck the towel in.

Nice simple answer
Is it possible that someone put the fan upside down???
It is possible for fans to be wired backwards or installed the wrong direction, yes.
1:04 “these would typically be on trucks” 2010 + NOT anymore! ALL electric fans even on all rear wheel drive vehicles. An electric motor with a lousy relay that goes out and overheats your engine once the car or truck is afew years old. Clutch lasts forever. They wanna faze out the rear wheel drives but first they wanna faze out the clutch fan because it doesn’t break down enough and they’re losing money😂
Your respond does not help. On dual fans in the engine bay, there is only one fan in the engine will run if when turned on AC. There is only one fan will run when the egine is hot.
That is not true on most vehicles.
Because yours that's having 1 fan has high and low. The low starts when the engine reached it's temp. and the high functions when you turn your AC ON
@@JCAutomotivesonly one of my fans is running. That’s normal?
i want all the fans. im addicted to fans
(engine running) is it normal that both RADIATOR FAN and AC FAN are off whenever you switch off AC cooling?
car: 2021 honda city, asia
quite the same engine as honda fit, USA
So, IS a cooling fan an elctrical fan and a radiator fan all the same thing? If some one says electrical fan? You did mention one fan is an elctrical fan and the other is the cooling fan.
It varies from car to car, but essentially yes.
Roger that, thanks for responding.
