Hi,

New to the forum and I hope you guys can help. The radiator fan in my versa is not working. It does not turn on when at operating temperature or when the a/c is on. The a/c is not blowing any cold air, but the freon is at proper levels. Coolant is full, and the car hasnt overheated. This all started after replacing the spark plugs. I was driving the car after replacing them and noticed the a/c wasnt working well. Brought it back to the house and tested the freon. It was a normal pressure. This was about 3 days ago. Now the fan is not coming on at all, and the a/c is blowing hot air. The a/c clutch is engaging when the a/c is on, and I can hear an audible click. I replaced the thermostat, I have checked all the fuses, and the relays appear to be fine, but electrical is not a subject im comfortable with, so Im not 100% certain that the relays are good. By visual check they show no indication of being different than a new relay. I am at a loss at this point because it seems like it could be many things, but I dont really want to just start replacing things in hopes the problem will eventually fix itself. Any help is much appreciated!

What I would suggest is going over the work you did regarding the spark plugs. I know that you have to just about remove half the engine in order to get to the plugs, and you may have accidentally unplugged one of the connections in the process or broken one of the wires in the process of doing the job. Good luck!!!

I have completely gone backwards and forwards with what I did to change the spark plugs. I don’t think they are directly related. I can’t find a correlation. The fan not running at all is what is confusing me.

Give this a look and see if it gives you any ideas........................

All the fuses in the vehicle have been pulled and visually checked. I haven’t done a check of the relays, but I will do so today. Thank you for the suggestions.

As another user (amc49) recommended in another thread, see if you can spin the fan by hand, and apply 12v directly to it. This will check the fan itself.

I have the same problem with my car, what did you find was the problem?

Well my fan does finally come on as it should when the car gets to the temp to make it come on, but not for the ac like it should.

See if they turn on with that auto active test posted above. That will confirm a lot of the circuits are good if it works and only leave a couple of possibilities.

If you forgot to plug in a coolant temp sensor there would be a code for it. The fans are controlled by the IPDM. There are two relays in there that are not replaceable, one for high speed and one for low. There is another relay for the fans outside of that. The fans share a body ground too. If you have a test light or a volt meter there are some tests that can be done to see what you're missing and trace it back.

Do you have a scan tool?
