check fan out fans have a built in thermal device when they get to hot they shut off you might just replace the motor in the fan but check out relay first much cheaper to replace

you need to run both of those fans in order to get the proper cooling yopu might also try flushing your radiator

thats normal,,, the motor is likley to have a shorted coial in it, if sit will pull far more amp's that is should and it blows the fuses, dont try fitting a biger fuse in,,,,,,you will just start a fire in the car!

Many vehicles turn on the electric cooling fan if the temperature is high under the hood which prevents hard starting of a hot engine.
If yours never has had the fan run for a minute or two, then it isn't supposed to but if it did it once but now doesn't, the thermal switch that should turn it on has failed.
Try holding the gas pedal to the floor before turning the key; if it starts, then there was too much gasoline in the cylinders causing wet plugs which don't want to fire.

SOUNDS LIKE THE AUXILIARY FAN (THE FAN THAT COMES ON WHEN YOU TURN THE A/C ON) IS NOT WORKING!!
REPLACE THAT FAN OR THE WHOLE ASSY AND THAT WILL PROBABLY FIX YOUR PROB!!

check first if you are loosing water or cooling fluids on your radiator. There may be a leak or the radiator cap may no longer prevent the steam from escaping. check the radiator fans if they are turning. You can check the fan if it is working by removing the temp sensor at the lower radiator hose. The fan should turn on by then.

I have a 96 Intrepid, and none of the signal lights work. I tried replacing the fuse, but this did not remedy the problem. Could this be a loose connection?
