Chrysler Repair: radiator fan: 06 PT Cruiser, volt ohm meter, radiator fan


Question
QUESTION: Hi
I just had my radiator fan replace in a 2006 pt crusier 2.4 engine.But it is still giving me problems the fan  will not click on. the fuse has been changed and the relay sensors also
Please help

ANSWER: Hi Donna,
I don't have a shop manual for the PT but I can infer the fan circuit based upon other Chrysler cars. Tell me, do you have a volt-ohm meter to work with? Did the new fans ever work, and did you report this to the shop/person who did the replacement? Let me know and we'll go from there. Are you familiar with where the fuse and the relay are located?

QUESTION: Yes the new fan did work dut the air stop working after the fan was put in. The shop has tried everything but it seems the fan works for a few hours then stops the fuse was changed and the relay sensors were also change plus the thermostat and the cap to the radiator.They cannot seem to get a reading when
they do a diagnostic test it eh computer says try again.

Answer
I don't understand what you mean by the "air stop working". Do you mean the radiator fan stopped? or are you now speaking about the interior ventilation air fan?
When you say the fuse was changed, do you mean it was found to be blown, or that they changed it to be sure it was good?
I am not sure that the computer will be able to necessarily detect why the fans aren't running; it only may detect that the fan relay is not being energized.
There are two circuits involved: one that enegizes the fan relay (which is a switch) and when that switch is closed it sends current to the fan motors. They should be able to distinguish which is at fault: either the relay is not closing when the computer asks it, or the relay is closing but it isn't sending current to the fan motors.
Have they checked the ground wire from the fans to a ground point nearby (probably near the left headlamp, but in any case just follow the black wire from the fans because it goes to that ground point). Maybe the ground connection is loose?
Do your have a voltmeter to check the circuit?
