2012 cruze cooling fan races

SOURCE: My fans that cool the engine do not come on.

Hi!

The first thing you're going to want to do is get that trouble code read. Some auto parts stores do it for free or you can buy a code scanner. Likely culprit is going to be the cooling fan itself, the relay, fuse, or the wiring/connectors leading to/from the fan and PCM. It could also be caused by a failed coolant temperature sensor.

So get that code read and start some diagnostics. I would suggest you start by checking fuses, relay, wiring. Then use a digital volt meter to see if the fan is getting 12 volts. Then try hooking the fans up directly to the battery to see if they work.

If you need more help, just let me know. Good luck!

It may be the fan itself. Try to find the plug going to the fan, it should be close to the fan and might plug diresctly into the relay. Use two jumper wires straight from the Bat one from the pos+ side and one from the neg- side and plug them into the two holes in the connector the fan should start WATCH YOUR FINGERS. If it starts its elec prob before the fan if not its the fan.

Well the code is for the circuit - the computer commands the relay to turn the fan on and it doesn't happen.
The computer provides the ground for the relay.
If you have replaced the relay and the fan and the fuse still blows, I would look for a problem in the harness between the fuse box and the fan, including the ground circuit for the fan.
The fuse for the cooling fan is usually a 30amp marked "cooling fan" in the fuse box in the engine compartment.
Do you know what the 25amp fuse that is blowing is for ?

Disconnect battery while car is running. If car dies altenator is bad. With car not running check battery with volt meter. Should read 12 to 12.46 without engine running. Start car and check battery with volt meter, should read 13 to 13.50. If less than 12 with engine running then altenator is no good.
