Weird problem with cooling fans. Please help. - 12/9/2005 10:13:26 AM    DAIadvisor   Posts: 12 Joined: 4/28/2005 Status: offline I have a 1994 Intrepid ES 3.5 - In the last few weeks, the fans will start as soon as you turn the car on - one at first, and then the second fan will kick on. Sometimes they will shut down, and kick on 2 seconds later, and will be doing that the whole time I'm driving. On a freezing day (like today) fans are on almost all the time, shutting down for literally couple seconds and starting again. I changed the temp sensor (top of the engine near the radiator hose), and it has full antifreeze. I would appreciate any suggestions on this issue. Thank you. < Message edited by DAIadvisor -- 12/9/2005 10:14:01 AM > Post #: 1

Just today, in Minnesota weather, started the car and obviously it was cold. Was just running a quick errand and the whole way there the fans were on before the temp gauge even moved. Just went out right now to switch the relays, but wanted the fans to kick on before I shut it off and switched them, and they never came on, beats me! So if the relay swap doesn't work, must be a sensor? Any ideas? Does anyone have troubles with the cooling system in these? Evertime I get low on coolant (in the resevoir) she sucks a lot of air and I have to pull over, add coolant and bleed the thermostat. The last time it happened, had about 2 minutes of straight air with a little coolant spitting out the nipple on the thermostat, and yes thermostat is new from last time this happened a few months ago. Anyone else have these problems and what do you do? Thanks, Lee (in reply to DAIadvisor) Post #: 3
