It may be your relay! A way of checking is unplug the fan and put a test light on the plug itself with a/c running and if it doesnt have any power going to the fan with a/c on then your a/c fan relay is probably bad!
CHECK TO SEE IF COOLING FAN IS RUNNING.IF NO CHECK COOLING FAN FUSE AND RELAY.THE COOLING FAN NEED TO BE RUNNING WHEN AC ON BECAUSE AIR CONDITIONER PUT A LOAD ON ENGINE.COOLING FAN KEEP RADIATOR AND AC CONDENSOR COOL.FAN NEED TO RUNNING.
Well I am assuming you are meaning the radiator fan is not working.The radiator fan motor comes on when the fan switch located in the intake tells that the car is too hot.In which case it closes the circuit and sends power to the motor.The motor could be bad,but the easy way to test that is to run power from the battery directly to the motor and see if it turns on.If it doesnt,then your motor is just bad. If it does, then it is probably your radiator fan switch or the colant temp switch.Both can be bought at Advance or AutoZone.Just remember to wrap the threads of the switch with teflon tape so it doesnt leak when reinstalled.
Better make sure the fan works. There is a switch on the radiator that turns the fan on when it gets to a certain temperature. It could be the fan or the switch. Your thermostat is not your cap, it's in a different location. (Usually at the engine end of the upper radiator hose) Get the leak check! A good garage can pressure test the system to see what leaks you might have.
Some car designs only have one radiator fan as opposed to 2 fans. Typically the second smaller fan is specifically for the AC when its turned on. But with the larger single fan design, its turns on when the AC is on regardless. Now if the fan doesnt come on at all at any other time... like to prevent the car from overheating, you may want to check the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor. Its located on the engine and easy to replace. Can be tricky to find. They only run 20 bucks thankfully.
No the radiator fans do not have anything to do with the A/C, they help keep the motor cool in traffic. It sounds like you might have done some damage to the wiring with the jury rig repair job.
