Elec Fan A/C

Hi Guys,

Question on a XJ classik 4.0 year 2000
¿should the elect fan (plastic) work as soon as the A/C is turned on?

With very warm weather, 30ºC, engine working for 10 minutes with A/C on ¿should it been working anyway, don't it?

When I remove the sensor it starts working. I also check by taking fuse off, but it doesn't start.
It is at official service now, but they say it is working normaly starting functioning at 106ºC (a bit over water boiling temp)
Thanks.

The electric fan, besides turning on when your engine temp gets above a certain degree, will also run whenever the A/C compressor is running.

When the sensor is disconnected, the electric fan will also run.

The a/c clutch and the a/c fan operate independantly on the 00+ models.

Thanks Blaine; "Whenever" is the key word. I knew that and checked it with some jeepers. Now I have to dbeate it with "the official Service".
Thanks

i know that on my 97 whenever the A/C pump is turned on, the electric fan turns on continuously until i turn the A/C off then it comes on only intermitantly to assist the mech fan. If you pull the sensor that will turn the elec fan on by default, a good way to check it.
