Q: Radiator fan asembly/motor
About 2 weeks ago my engine failed to cool an overheated. Upon inspection I became aware at that my fan was not turning on. My AC would also quit working at a stop. I checked all of the fuses and relays. After cleaning the connectors it worked for another 2 weeks. Now it is stopped working again. I went to the auto parts store and they let me use a new relay in the three plugs and it still did not work. I checked with a 12 volt there is no powerr going to the fans. My question now is where do I go from here? How do both Motors go bad at the same time? I can freely spin the van that I can reach it will spin when I'm driving down the road and that keeps the engine cool and the AC will work as long as I am moving. I don't want to bring it to the mechanic without because I cannot pay costly exploration hourly fees.
