I have an 00" VDP 96k miles, timing chains/guides/tensioners/waterpump/aluminum tstat housing all have been done. Just yesterday my top radiator hose blew off the water outlet pipe causing all the coolant/antifreeze to go everywhere. Since then I have done a flush installed a new thermostat/water outlet pipe and new worm clamps. I tested the OLD T-stat and it was working perfectly fine.

Right now my auxiliary fans don't work. I will turn the AC on and still they won't run. Before I was thinking a bad T-Stat was the cause for my radiator hose to blow off but now im thinking the auxiliary fans might of been the cause.

My car has been running perfect before the radiator hose incident. AC STILL blows cold and hard and Heater STILL works, for some reason though when I turn it to HI the front two vents act like there being blocked off and no air gets through, only when on HI and only those two front vents (not sure if it did this before).


CLIFFS: Auxiliary Fan not working, was working perfectly before. Is there a fuse or something I can check?? I have the engine light on and restricted performance.

Sorry for the long post, I tried to described my situation as best as I can. Please let me know if there any thing else I might be missing.


Also MAFS and throttle body are clean.


Thanks a lot

 

Okay I checked the fuses and Fuse #14 in the bigger fuse box
(30amp) was broken the other Fuse #14 (10amp) looked/worked
fine. I went ahead and replaced both.

Not sure were the connectors are but NOW when I turn my A/C
on, the top fan blows at max speed I believe (blows hard)
haven't seen the bottom fan operate yet. Is it safe to say
my bottom fan is dead??

Any other options I can check?

Both fans run at the same time low or high. On low the fans run in series and on high they run in parallel. If one fan goes out then the other will only run on high because there is no other fan the run in series with. Things to check

Fuse to fan (or wiring)
Fan itself
Fan control module/relay unit

Fan itself is most likely but put power to it directly to check

Thanks motor im gonna go ahead and hook up the fan directly to a battery once I get the chance to pull it out. I'll let you guys know what happens

 

UPDATE:: Pulled the fan out and tested it on a battery, bottom fan is DEAD now for the decision to get one off ebay or somewhere else.

Thanks for your guys help
