What is the Condenser Fan Relay all about?

The condenser fan relay connects to the condenser fan and allows it to turn on when the air conditioner in the vehicle is turned on. It enables the cooling fan to pull air through the radiator and the condenser to cool out the vehicle. The relay is part of the cooling fan circuit. Other components include a temperature sensor, control module, and the fan motor.

The relay is the most likely component to fail in the circuit and must be replaced. The relay coil will generally read between 40 and 80 ohms on a test meter. If it reads higher, the relay may be working but is failing and should be replaced right away. If the reading is low, it means the relay has already failed. If you attempt to run the AC when the relay doesn’t work properly, you may cause it to overheat or even result in the engine overheating.

Keep in mind:

Some vehicles have two fans – one runs the radiator and the other operates the condenser.
Both fans should come on when the AC is activated.
When the relay is failing, it may work some of the time but not all of the time – don’t continue to use it without having it checked out first.
If you gently shake the relay and hear something rattling, it indicates that the armature has broken.

How it's done:

The condenser fan relay is verified that it needs to be replaced. The relay is located within the main fuse box.
The defective condenser fan relay is removed from the fuse box and connector checked to be functional.
The new condenser fan relay is installed into the connection and the fuse box is closed.
The A/C is turned on and the condenser fan relay is tested for operation.
The vehicle is tested to ensure proper operation of the condenser fan relay and fans.

Our recommendation:

If the air doesn’t circulate when the air conditioning is turned on, it may indicate a failed condenser fan relay. Turn off the air conditioning system until it can be inspected by one of our expert mechanics. Attempting to use the air conditioning with a bad fan relay can cause the engine to overheat and lead to other problems.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Condenser Fan Relay?

Air conditioner fails to work properly
Air conditioner may work one time and not the next
Engine is overheating

How important is this service?

It is extremely important to have the condenser fan relay replaced if you plan on using the air conditioner. Serious damage to the engine can result if you attempt to run the AC with a faulty or failed condenser fan relay. If it occurs at the end of hot weather season and you do not plan on operating the AC, you may wait to replace it at your earliest convenience.

Ford Taurus V6-3.0L - Tune-up - Clearwater, Florida

Dwaine was great. I was concerned because my engine light was on, I booked him for an inspection, he came to my office in Clearwater (all the way from Tampa), he found the problem, explained everything to me while being honest, saying my car was in really good condition and it wasn't dangerous to drive like that. Just needed to replace a cylinder. I booked him again for the next day so he could order the parts and get everything in order. He came again, fixed everything and I even received a full credit for my inspection the day before. My car is almost like new (2003 Ford Taurus). Hard worker, would call him again if had any issues!

Ford Taurus V6-3.0L - Check Engine Light is on - Gilbert, Arizona

This is the second time I have had Terry come out to check my vehicles, and as always he provides outstanding customer service! Terry takes the time to do a complete and thorough diagnostic of the vehicle, complete with notes, options, and recommendations. What I also like is that Terry takes extra care and consideration to make sure that the customer understands the situation, and how to properly prioritize what's needed to keep your vehicle running smooth. I would recommend Terry's services to anyone needing mobile car maintenance and service. Please visit Terry's profile page to learn more about this great mechanic! Thank you Terry!
