2007 impala v6 cooling fans will not engauge, even when i turn on the ac the cooling fans won,t enguage. I,ve checked the relays, fueses pluge connections. when I hot wire the fans only 1 fan will come on the other will not work, so that tells me that 1 fan is out but the other fan won,t come on by it,s self, only when i hot wire it
SOURCE: my 1998 pontiac sunfire is getting hot but not overheating
the fan may be bad but you can find the hot side of the plug and run a hot to the battery and see if the fan comes on. if it doesent you know you have a bad fan if it does you can run a wire to the fuse panel so that it comes on when the car does and shuts off when you shut the car off
SOURCE: radiator cooling fan 30 amp. fuse keep blowing
The fan may run with jumper wires but if it''s blowing the 30 Amp Maxifuse it's needs a new or used fan motor.It's pulling too many amps.I have almost never seen a fan relay concern.Only other thing you may check is the wiring down near the fan shoud I have seen the 2 wires get loose from the conduit & melt onto exhaust manifold.Hope tHis Helps

Cooling fan relay switch (in the fuse box uner the hood). Look for othger relays in there that are the same type number (they are all marked). If you find one that is the same as the cooling fan relay, then swap the two relays and check. (Turn on car and turn on A/C ... fan will start ... or not).
Fan motor could be bad (most likely).
If you remove it yourself, don't scrapr the radiator fins with the fan blades.
Hope this helps!

DTC P0480 - COOLING FAN CIRCUIT
Circuit Description
The cooling fan is controlled by PCM through the fan relay based on inputs from ECT sensor, IAT sensor, A/C selector switch, A/C refrigerant pressure switch and vehicle speed sensor. PCM controls cooling fan by grounding cooling fan control circuit which turns on cooling fan relay.
The fan relay will be commanded on when ECT reaches 223°F (106°C) or greater, A/C is requested or vehicle speed is less than 38 MPH. Cooling fan relay will also be commanded on regardless of vehicle speed when a DTC is set requesting cooling fan to be on, ECT is 304°F (151°C) or greater, or A/C refrigerant pressure is high. Cooling fan may also be commanded on when engine is not running, on certain conditions.
Conditions for setting DTC:
Battery voltage greater than 9.5 volts.
Cooling fan fault line detects a malfunction for 6 seconds.
1. Check the cooling system. Ensure coolant level and belt tension are correct. Adjust/repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step 23). If no adjustment or repairs were required, go to next step.
2. Turn ignition on, with engine off. Using scan tool, check if cooling fan is operating with ECT at less than 209°F (98°C). If cooling fan is off, go to next step. If cooling fan is on, go to step 4).
3. Command cooling fan relay on. If cooling fan operates, go to step 23). If cooling fan does not operate, go to step 5).
4. Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM harness connector. If cooling fan turns off, go to step 23). If cooling fan does not turn off, go to step 6).
5. Disconnect cooling fan relay harness connector. Using a test light connected to ground, probe battery feed circuits in relay harness connector. If test light illuminates on both terminals, go to step 7). If test light does not illuminate on both terminals, go to step .
6. Disconnect cooling fan relay harness connector. With test light connected to ground, probe battery feed circuit in relay harness connector. If test light illuminates, go to step 9). If test light does not illuminate, go to step 10).
7. Connect a jumper wire between cooling fan relay battery feed and cooling fan battery feed circuit. If cooling fan operates, go to step 11). If cooling fan does not operate, go to step 12).
8. Repair open in battery feed circuit. After repairs, go to step 23).
9. Repair short to voltage in cooling fan battery feed circuit. After repairs, go to step 23).
10. Connect test light battery voltage and probe cooling fan control circuit. If test light illuminates, go to step 13). If test light does not illuminate, go to step 21).
11. Connect test light to battery voltage and probe cooling fan control circuit. Using scan tool, command cooling fan on. If test light illuminates, go to step 14). If test light does not illuminate, go to step 15).
12. With jumper wire still connected, disconnect cooling fan harness connector. Using test light connected to ground, probe cooling fan battery feed circuit. If test light illuminates, go to step 16). If test light does not illuminate, go to step 17).
13. Repair short to ground in cooling fan control circuit. After repairs, go to step 23).
14. Check terminals to cooling fan relay. Repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step 23). If terminals are okay, go to step 21).
15. Check cooling fan control circuit for open or poor connection. Repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step 23). If circuit or connection is okay, go to step 22).
16. Connect test light to battery voltage and probe cooling fan ground circuit. If test light illuminates, go to step 1. If test light does not illuminate, go to step 19).
17. Repair open or poor connection in cooling fan ignition feed circuit. After repairs, go to step 23).
18. Check for poor connections at cooling fan harness connector. Repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step 23). If connections are okay, go to step 20).
19. Repair open or poor connection in cooling fan ground circuit. After repairs, go to step 23).
20. Replace cooling fan motor. After replacing cooling and motor, go step 23).
21. Replace cooling fan relay. After replacing relay, go to step 23).
22. Replace PCM. Program replacement PCM using required equipment. After replacing PCM, go to next step.
23. Turn ignition on, with engine off. Command cooling fan on. If cooling fan operates, system is okay. If cooling fan does not operate, repeat step 1).
