having radiator fan problems
I have recently bought a 1995 Monte Carlo ls with the 3.1 v6 in it and im having issues with radiator fans. whoever had the car before me wired the #2 cooling fan to a toggle switch inside. the #1 fan only kicks on when the AC is engaged. I was wondering if that's what its supposed to do and why would somebody wire the #2 fan inside. I thought the thermostat temp switch was part of the factory wiring to kick on the #2 fan after driving for a while. if anybody has any information on why this was done it would be a great help. im not having any overheating problems or anything I just would like to be in the minds eye of what the hell the other person was thinking.

Welcome to the MCF
I have no idea why a previous owner did what they did ? Do you know the previous owner ? Can you contact them ?
Maybe ? the previous owner wired it so he could turn on the fan `if he sat at the beach or any location for a long period of time to make sure the fan would be on & keep the car from heating `up ?
Maybe one of our member's has done this & will reply to your thread.
How many miles on your Monte ? How many owner's ? Do you have any pictures to post ? (Hope so ?)
Keep checking back on your thread to see what member's post.

No I don't know the owner the car originally came from
New York new and has been in Florida ever since. My father and I did a car fax on the car and it has been in any accidents or anything. It has had a few different owners until it was traded in at a dealer then wholesaled to a mom and pop type dealer where I got it from. It runs good. I was just confused on why someone would wire the second fan to a toggle. It doesn't bother me to have the option to switch it on and off. It makes it more like a racers car. I don't have pictures yet but I will post some. So far from what the odometer reads there are 186000 miles on her right now.
