Generally speaking, the radiator fan will be on when the AC is on. Something something science. Here's is a random post with some info on it.
The mods won't contact said person nor release their info. It's that simple. Loftja hasn't been on for years. It's useless to keep trying to pursue that option. You won't get an answer.lexicon wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 11:42 pm also, the issue is that the fan comes on immediately at High Speed , this is a change for my car .
Can someone please start their car and check the A/C when cold and see if the radiator fan comes on at high speed.
There have been many views so, no one has said theirs starts up at high speed.
Just hoping the original post person can help me if the mods can contact him.
Thanks all
In addition to this andrewclaus did confirm function is happening correctly.joatmon wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 11:14 am In your thread at https://forums.genvibe.com/phpBB3/viewt ... 17&t=47871 you posted a link to Loftja's thread about the same issue. In Loftja's thread I posted some info from the 03 Vibe service manual, which I completely don't remember doing. Can't really offer anything else on the fan speed issue

I live in a dry, fairly temperate climate and seldom use the A/C so it's never bothered me. It also happens on defrost and that's normal.
I don't have the exact wiring diagram for the VIbe, but a similar system for the same year Corolla shows the pressure switch is in the fan control system, as well as the ECU. I don't know the exact pressure switch function, but it sure looks like when there's pressure in the coolant system the radiator fan switches to high speed, by design. Perhaps your car had a coolant pressure problem earlier, now resolved. Or perhaps my car has a problem and I don't know it.
I wouldn't worry about the fan motor at high speed vs low. At high speed, a resistor is switched out of the circuit, so in a way high fan speed is prolonging the life of the resistor.
who was the user you were trying to contact?
some guy that hasn't been on for....an extremely long time.
My suggestion was gonna be that if it's an original username then google it and see it it pops up on a different forum. I know if you do a google search of my username, a name I've been using for well over 20 years now, google will list numerous other sites I've been registered on. Some I never visit anymore, and some I still use to this day. Might be his only hope at this point.
If someone contacted me out of the blue because a mod on this or any other forum had provided my email or other contact info, I would be very highly PO'd, to say the very least.SlammedNiss wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 12:17 pmAlso, just to be clear, I also wouldn't expected the mods to release another person's personal info. Although I would have at least expected a mod/admin to come on and say that themselves.
