I have a 2015 Ford Edge 2.0 with 109,000 miles and the other day I had to replace the battery. The next day,my wife was driving it and it overheated and the A/C was warm. As soon as it overheated it corrected and ran fine. When I got home I started it and the cooking fans wouldn't come on. The next day the drivers side fan comes on with A/C.
I purchased the OBDII Bluetooth scanner and downloaded Forscan.
When run the car and turn on the A/C I can see the low speed fan come on within the app and I can feel the 38 relay click but no fan. Shortly after I can feel the high speed fan come on in the app, feel the real 39 click and the drivers side fan comes on. After this, the 38 and 39 relays click together and only the drivers side fan comes on.
I checked continuity of both fans, and wire between relay 38 and fan and 39 and fan, checked continuity of all three relays, and I have tested the fans directly off the battery. In the past I have had issues with the the 39 relay getting stuck and the fan staying on after the car is shutoff.
The car runs fine now.
Any ideas?
How do these fans work? Is one fan high speed and one low speed? Or are these fans multi-speed depending on circumstances?
When should the driver's side fan be on?
I ordered a new Motorcraft fan from Rock but don't really want to use it if it isn't the issue.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
