Cooling fans on radiator

Both of my fans freaked out at the same time. I took both of them off and called the dealership to see what I needed. Now bear in mind that both of them are identical even the part #s on them. The dealership tells me that the ac fan is differnet than the radiator fan, but Im sitting here with the same friggin part on both sides. Does it make a diff, does one spin faster thatn the other??

Take another look. The part numbers for both fan and motor assemblies are only 1 digit different from each other, so if you look quickly you might not notice the difference


The assemblies do look similar, but they are different. I think one might draw more air than the other, but I really don't know.


If I were you I'd be looking at fuses and wires. Losing both fans at the same time is a sure sign of an electrical problem (bad ground, bad power, bad fuse) and not the fans themselves.

they are exactly the same. The only difference is the fan blade is one has 5 and one has 6 blades, and opps I didnt look when I put it back on

I needed to replace one of my fans, and only one type was available (I think the 6 blade one). Either will work, not a big deal.

So the difference is the number of blades. Funny. Does the 6 blade fan push more air?

Does the passenger side fan work when the air conditioning is on?

It should come on whenever you use the A/C or defrost.
