Hello Guys,

Took the car out for a spin yesterday. When I was on the intersate the engine temp would raise alittle at 70mph. Then once I slowed down to 10-15mph it would return back to normal temp. So when I got back to the shop I checked everything and noticed the AC fan is pulling air through the radiator. When I am 95% sure it should be pushing air through the radiator. Am I correct here? and if so why is the fan spinning that way? Doesn't make sence to me.

Re-write that by saying "fan flows air from the front of the car to the back of the car" or something like that.

The A/C fan, fan on the driver side of car, on the front of the radiator should push air through the condenser/radiator. I.E. it should move air from the front of the car towards the back.

If on yours it is trying to move air from the BACK of the car to the front, you have the power wires swapped.

I can't switch the power wires as this is the factory connector. So it only connects one way. The fan is spinning counterclockwise. Wondering if a relay is bad or something else.

Not sure yet it is my brother working on it right now. Just texted me saying he fixed it.

Did you ever find out what caused this, because my AC fan is doing the same thing.
