 | Subject: Large Fans below engine  Tue Mar 10, 2015 12:36 am | |
| There are 2 large fans on the bottom of my 1997 Hiace Super Custom 2L Turbo diesel that are mounted on what looks like a 2nd radiator. The fans aren't hooked up, and if I do, they will blow a fuse after a few hours. Looking on here, someone said that they had something to do with the aircon, but my aircon blows cold whether they are running or not. Any clues? | |

| Yes one or both are coolers for the A/C. If you have 4WD I have heard that their could be a secondary coolant rad.
Take it to an A/C specialist. | |

| Clive, I think a secondary coolant radiator, in addition to aircon, is correct. On a long hill climb that I travel frequently the two large fans can be heard cutting in even if the aircon is switched off. Mine is a 4WD model. | |

| I took a second look and sure enough there is a second coolant rad tied in with the main one, then above that is the a/c condenser with it's own fan that turns on when the a/c is turned on. I wired in an old headlight relay to the coolant fan with a switch on the dash, now if it gets warm I can just turn the fan on manually. | |
