In this video I have a look at a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze RS that came on with a customer complaint that his fans are coming on to much. I thought that was kind of odd, so I thought maybe the fan was just louder and he was just hearing them. Let’s see what we find. -Enjoy

Thanks a lot Eric. My Cruze is doing the same thing only when AC is on.
I was wondering, I have a 2012 Chevy Cruz 1.4 turbo I was wondering the operating temperature where the fan would come on like 190° or 180°… I’m not noticing my fan coming on… Sometimes I see my temperature the read out in the dash… I’ve seen it go as high as 230°… Is that normal?
I have a chevy Cruze 2014 and when i put the key in the contact, i don't here that dinging sound, so any ideas on how i make it work and hear it?

My Chevy Cruze 2013 cooling fan comes on about 30 seconds after I start it. The car thinks it's overheating. It isn't. But I don't know what to do. Plus I get on the message console something about the AC disabled due to high engine temp.
Im having the same problem on my 2012 loud fan, started today…
Im having the same issue!! At the end it was the Fan? need it to be replaced?
Rs is actually for really shitty
No multiple cooling fans just one that’s stepped. It has like a “highâ€, “mediumâ€, “lowâ€. I’m dealing with a 2016 that is running flat out all the time the vehicle is running. Codes for IAP intake air temperature and pressure sensor.
The exact same thing is happening to me right now in my 2015 Chevy Cruze. I guess I need a fan replaced
Such a cool car of ots the 6speed it's even better
Can someone please explain what was wrong? I saw the video like 3 times and idk I'm just retarded or what but I can't seem to find the solution
U have knowlage 👠felicidades
Definitely have this problem
Have the exact same issue!!
Same issue with my chevy cruze? Did you change the fan?
Couldn’t you just start up the car right away so the people watching your video ain’t waiting freaking 20 minutes
Hey 👋 thanks for your videos. I have a 2013 chevy cruze I installed a new thermostat but still overheadin is 12.volts on thermostat sensor
great video im afraid my buddy has the same issue ac does not turn on at all even with a hot engine. I need a test lightbulb like yours lol might build me one
I have had the same problem with my cruze and I have replaced the fan with resistor pack 3 times but after a week, the 2 low speed resistors blow each time. I have scrutinized the wiring diagram and there isn't anything other than the fan that would blow those resistors (there's no chance of a short to ground between the resistors and fan due to wire routing) other than a faulty part design. I have also seen quite a few cruzes with the same exact problem. Every video I find about it ends with replacing the fan/resistor and calling it good. I really wish someone would do a follow up!
So does it need a new fan?
The resister is available. You could have saved the customer $100 in parts plus labor by just replacing it.
Had a Chevrolet a couple of years ago and when the outside temp would go to 90 plus and the A/C went on the second fan would not go on and cool the engine down and when I took it back to the dealer they could find any problems with it and I took it back to them at least 4 times and GM refused to say there was an issue and I got rid of the car and I have sworn off American made cars from that time on.
Lately i've been hearing my fan because the ac is on but it sounds much louder than I have ever heard it before almost like a prop plane. Also the engine bay seems excessively hot even though the engine does not overheat. Is my fan broken or something?
Where are you located? My Chevy dealer just replaced my 2011 Malibu cooling fan (broken plastic housing noise supposedly) clacking growl stopped but theirs still loud humming and comes on with a cool engine. I'm in NY; Where are you located? You know your stuff. Thanks
Same with my 2012 cruze
This is exactly what my Chevy Cruze is doing. How much does this go for to get fixed?
I wonder if GM manufacturing Plane engine how many times we would have a catastrophic events..All Chevy have same issue Fan blowing full speed never turns off or never turn on
