My radiator fan is not working...

I had little accident and I had to replace the radiator, A/C condensor and A/C condensor fan.

After replacing all the parts, I tried to check if the fans are working properly. (Both A/C condensor fan and the radiator fan)
However, both of them doesn't seem to work.

I've already checked the fuses. All of them are in good condition.

By the way, there's no refrigirant gas in A/C condensor. So I'm guessing A/C condensor fan is probably not working due to low pressure of the refrigirant. (Since there's none inside the HVAC system)

I'm just wondering if that low pressure of refrigirant would affect operation of the radiator fan as well...

If not, then what do you guys think would be the problem??

Nope...

Turned the car on and and revved the engine as well for about 30 min, but the fan did not work.

I thought the fan turns on when A/C is on, not heater...

My guess would be your fan switch, I have had to replace 2 in the past 2 years (dont buy autozone sensors, go to honda lol). But make sure its not your relay in the fuse box under the hood, and run a jumper to make sure theres power to your fans.

I have wiring info on the fans circuits, and also some troubleshooting info (which may or may not work as it is for EP-3) PM with E-Mail address and I will send them to you.

wait, why dont you just test the fans and make sure THEY arent the problem? i remember when my dad's van's fan wasnt going on, he htought it was the fuses or something but i took the fans out and hooked up up directly to the battery and it didnt turn on...meaning that the motor on the fan is dead. take the fan out and place the negative end wire to the ground wire on the battery and the + to the red one on the battery and see if it turns on, if it does then you gota wiring shortage somewhere, if not....www.ebay.com - serach fora new fan.
