Driver side cooling fan not working
Hey guys,
Noticed my 2000 996 C4 Tip running a bit hot in the cool 110 degree heat of Phoenix, Arizona in stop and go traffic the last few days, and with the A/C on the temp would touch the mark between 180 and 250.. NOT COOL! My drivers side radiator fan wasn't coming on with the A/C, but the passenger side was. Switched the relays around and still the driver side didn't work. Ordered a new fan from our host, installed it last night AND STILL NO FAN with the AC ON! WTH! Any ideas??? Brian

There is a resistor in the power line for each fan, these are a common failure point:

JFP, the new fan I purchased from our host came with a new resistor... bad resistor on new part?
Thanks JFP for always replying quickly, you're awesome! Brian

Could be bad, simple to check with a multimeter. I would also test the power leads to make sure you don't have a wiring issue upstream somewhere.
