2001 Pontiac Grand Am cooling fans not kicking on

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked by BClark on August 28, 2021

I just bought a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am SE for 1,500 and registered in 3 days ago. My luck it’s been one thing after another. (I guess you really do get what you pay for) Pulled into a parking lot & parked, My engine started smoking & my anti freeze was pissing out everywhere. My radiator cap had a hole drilled in it to relieve pressure build up with whoever doing it not realizing that it would just piss out everywhere. So I had that replaced. Now the reason for that is because my cooling fans are not kicking on. Is it even worth fixing for 1,500? Should I go and get my money back? Not to mention the exhaust had a piece of pipe put in and was never welded on. Oh joy.

One Answer

There are 3 components that can cause this.

  1. Coolant temp sensor

  2. Fan relays(s)

  3. Defective cooling fans, there are 2 on that model.

More than likely on that old of a car the fans or relays have failed.
