I replaced my a/c belt on my 1999 intrepid and afterwards trying out the a/c function. I noticed that the fan blades aren't turning. Nothing electronic was touched and all fuses are good. Do you think that it could be the thermostat?

Assuming that you are speaking of the radiator fans, they don't normally come on until the engine warms up. If the car was not overheating before the A/C belt belt was replaced, then the fans were working. Start the engine and feel the radiator where the upper engine radiator hose fits. When the thermostat opens, the radiator will suddenly get hot. The fans should come on shortly after that. Check the temperature sensor near where the upper hose comes off of the engine--there should be a wire attached to it. Does the temp gauge move normally?

Dodge intrepid fan don't turn on, fuses are OK, and relays close when engine is hot.

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

Car overheats when heat is put on. both fans

Have you checked the Heat Gaskets. They may be defective or not functioning. Also Check the Cooling System's chemical completely checked. Also ensure that the Thermostat is not defective. Also try replacing the thermostat.

I can drive my 1999 dodge intrepid for a while and cant start it

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.

Radiator fan not turning on 02 intrepid

maybe the sensor that turns on the fans might of gone bad . . and turning on the ac when engine is gettin hot is not going to help instead turn on the heater to reduce the heat , also overheating causes hoses and gaskets to get soft and get destroyed
