Coolang fan does not come on

[Bob Horyna]

I just purchased a 2004 xlr and found out today that the coolant fan does not come on. Any help determining where to look first?

cooling fan

My xlr`s fan never been on. Never heard it running. My eldorado`s never came until I lost the head gasket. The first time I heard the fan running in the eldorado is when I pulled into the garage and the head gasket messed up. After I got it fixed, the fan has never been on. The XLR( repair manual) book says the fan dosen`t come on until coolant temp reaches 204f, or the oil temp reaches 302f and or, when the A/C pressure reaches 160 psi. Is your car over heating or are you just concerned? I don`t think you have a problem but, a Caddie dealer can tell you for sure.

Cooling fan...

Shortly after I bought mine last year I noticed the temp guage skyrocket... It was warranteed so I took it in. In my case the cooling fan was shorting and would only kick in intermittently and it was replaced with a new one. BUT I have never actually heard my fan while inside the car and after my temp guage incident I keep my eye on the dash for any discrepencies... Are you getting HIGH temps?
