Hi,

Temp been getting higher than usual. My passenger radiator fan is on but my driver's side is off when parked and the AC is on. Do I have a broken fan? What do i need to do to fix this?

I had the same issue (my99 996), wrench said check to be sure of a good electrical connection, if it is connected and still off in that situation, then try the relay and fuse, if these are okay, then the fan will have to be removed and tested. Removing the fan requires removal of the front bumper, but a seasoned P-car mechanic can change one out in about an hour. I think if done using the secret tricks of the trade, one can slide it out the bottom while the car is on a lift, and swap it faster.

These are two-speed fans that should run on full high when the a/c is on. Also, you can plug a diagnostics computer in it to get the code (just to be sure as it will show up) and they can test them by attempting to turn them on remotely.

Pelican has them at $231 but my recent experience with sunset imports (per this site) has proven worthy (with a lower control arm, beating out any other site for parts prices) so they can more than likely beat that price.

Good Luck!
