Electric fan motor

Post by sykemikeg »

Hello again. When I go out early first thing in the morning to crank my baja, it cranks up fine but I hear the electric fan kicking on and off. It's not even warm outside and the engine was just fired up. Is it suppose to do that? I'm still new to this awesome cruck. I'm loving it.

Been wondering this too, mine does it. Comes on for a few seconds then turns off.

Is it on defrost mode?

When on defrost mode, the air conditioner kicks on which removes moisture from the air. The reason the radiator fans kick on and off is the thermal switch in the condenser. I don't know why the fans cycle as often as they do.
