Large radiator cooling fan not spinning
I have a 2007 VW Jetta 2.5 sedan with automatic transmission. Actually it's my girlfriend's. But anyway, I noticed the radiator cooling fan sounded loud, and after looking under the hood, the smaller passenger side fan is spinning much faster, and the large driver's side fan is not spinning at all. Seems like the smaller fan is overcompensating. However, yesterday I took a look under the hood, had my girlfriend start the car and then turn on the air conditioning. BOTH FANS WERE SPINNING FOR A FEW SECONDS, but then the larger driver's side fan stopped spinning and the smaller one started to spin really really fast. The smaller passenger side fan spins really fast then stops, then it comes back on again. It gets pretty loud.
Her check engine light is on and after using a scan tool we got the code P0480 "Cooling Fan 1 Control Circuit Malfunction" Anyway, do I just need to replace the larger driver's side fan? I took out the full shroud with both fans and took a look, all the wires and connectors seem fine. The fans spin freely when I spun them by hand. We put it back and started the car... the large fan didn't spin at all, just the small one really really fast. Any advice would be helpful, thanks! |
