Passenger side rad fan?

Post by aspect »

I've already pulled all my A/C stuff out of the car, is there any reason to keep the passenger side radiator fan? As far as I can tell it's just for the A/C, and I'm assuming with no A/C in the car it will never engage...

It's true that cars without A/C don't have the extra fan, but if I'm not mistaken cars equipped with two fans run always run both fans together.

You could wire your sub fan to run with your main fan or you could toss it out... it all depends on whether you think the cooling advantage outweighs the weight advantage.

I always hear both fans going (when they come on), but one goes off a few seconds after the other.
