Your Dakota should have both a mechanical fan with a clutch, and an electric fan. The mechanical fan is the main cooling fan, and the electric fan is designed to come on to supplement the mechanical fan, only if it’s needed. If either of your fans has failed, you should have it replaced, as both are important to keeping the engine from overheating. You can have the fans inspected and replaced if necessary by a qualified technician from YourMechanic.
