only one electric fan comes on


Recommended Posts

so my 84 gl ea81 orignally just had one fan, i found the other one at the junk yard. I dont have ac so i plugged it in on the driver side where the plug is. But when it gets to temp just the one fan kicks on. I tested the fan by jumping it and it works just doesnt kick on. Is there any other reason is it because mine doesnt have ac or somthing?

You don't need the second fan - a good radiator and the single stock fan will do the job just fine. You are just sucking more juice from the already taxed alternator - they only have 50 amps at full speed and at idle it's about 15 or 20 amps - which is generally when you need the fans (car not moving, idleing).
