I have a problem with my ac fan never comes on when I turn in the ac I have replaced fan 3x so I don’t believe that’s my problem also had it recently charged bye a shop . It works great in cool weather but 90 I turn it on nothing but hot air if I drive it for 10 min then it will work for a few but then get hot and fan never comes on with ac but cools car fine as far as radiator is concerned kind of lost what it could be any help would be greatly appreciated.

358, check with a multimeter to see if you have 12V at the fan

Actually, you did not answer my question, do you have 12V at the fan. If not, you can replace it 20 times and it still won't work.

BTW we now have 2 intertwined threads, one of you will have to drop out......prolly penguins
