But on sideways mounted engines (think front wheel drive vehicles) a belt driven fan was no longer an option, and electrically driven fans became prevalent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On rear wheel drive vehicles, early belt driven fans had flexible blades that would change pitch as the fan was driven so as not to use quite so much engine power, because moving air takes energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then those aluminum bladed &ldquo;flex fans&rdquo; were replaced by fixed angle fans with thermostatic fan clutches. These clutches are filled with a viscous fluid (think syrup) that have internal valving so that when the valving is open, it allows the fan to freewheel on its shaft until the temperature of the air passing through the radiator acts on a bimetal spring or strip, partially closing the valving mechanism in the fan clutch so that the viscous fluid transmits more of the shaft speed to the fan, increasing its speed as needed to keep the radiator cool. This is a mechanical process; but some modern vehicles have an electrically controlled version of this kind of viscous clutch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, just about every vehicle has some kind of electrically operated engine cooling fan; for the past 25 years or so, the ECM\/PCM on vehicles has monitored engine temperature (for several reasons) and the module engages the electric cooling fan(s) whenever prevailing conditions call for it. Some systems have two fans &ndash; others have only one &ndash; but the fan(s) always have low and high speed operation, depending on engine temperature and\/or air conditioning operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fan Operation and Configuration in Different Vehicles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are dozens of different ways electric fans are configured and wired &ndash; and some are far more complicated than most people imagine. If you don&rsquo;t have a wiring schematic, you&rsquo;ll be clueless as to why the fan isn&rsquo;t operating unless the fan motor is smoking or you see burned connectors, scorched relay terminals, or broken wires.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_b5c209-a4 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_b5c209-a4 >
