  • Cooling Fans

    I did a search, but didn't find the answer I was looking for. My 2000 Camaro has 92k miles and is 9 years old. My A/C cools well on the road, but in the city it can barely keep cool. I opened the hood and I can see both fans are on but they don't sound strong anymore. Should I replace the motors on both? Thanks for your input.

    I know this sounds crazy but check to make sure they are both blowing in the proper direction. Yes, it happens.

      Also check that the air flow to the radiator is clear. When I bought my 95 Camaro I crawled under there and pulled an entire double page of the newpaper plus the top third was full of pinestraw and leaves. That air deflector acts like a pooper scooper and pushes all kinds of crap up there.

        Checked underneath it, and it is clear. Also checked the rotation of the fans and they are both blowing air toward the engine. Is it hard or expensive to replace the motors to these fans? I forgot to mention that the engine does NOT overheat and the A/C has a full charge. Thanks again!

          If the fan motors had both gone "bad", the engine would probably be overheating too. I think you have a problem with the A/C.

            Interesting. I guess I can take it in to check the A/C. Thanks for all the advice.
