radiator fan question
the outside air is pretty cold, would you expect to see the fan kick in on these with the car ideling with ambient temps around 32-40? or are these one of those cars were the phone only kicks in usually in the hotter months of the year? I have no CEL's or codes. Car is a 2007 e70 x5 3.0i |

Same thing happened with my 08 3.0. I was never able to track it down. I just made sure when I was in traffic to push the AC button and that kicked the fan on.

Not always but I new the fan would kick on if I turned the ac compressor on and seeing as how I was working so much, it was a small insurance policy that the car was cooling/fan being on when sitting in stop and go traffic until I had the time to hunt down the issue. Then the car got totaled before I could actually fix it.

The secondary fan has a program of certain temp that will kick on. When the AC is running the temp is a lower temp it doesn't run always.

Use the hidden menu or a scanner to monitor coolant temps to see if the coolant is even hot enough instead of playing a guessing game.
