Common Failure Symptoms of AC Fan Control Module
AC Fan Control Module: Signs of Failure & Maintenance Guide
Common Signs of Fan Control Module Failure:
1. Inconsistent Fan Speeds
• Fan runs at incorrect speeds regardless of settings
• Random speed fluctuations
• Fan stuck at single speed
2. Complete Fan Failure
• Fan won't turn on at all
• Fan stops working intermittently
• No response to temperature changes
3. Electrical Issues
• Burning smell from the control area
• Visible damage to module
• Blown fuses related to the fan circuit
4. Strange Noises
• Clicking sounds from the control module
• Buzzing or humming from the module area
Recommended Maintenance Schedule:
Annual Inspection
• Visual check for corrosion or damage
• Testing of all fan speeds
• Verification of proper temperature response
Every 2-3 Years
• Professional diagnostic testing
• Cleaning of module connections
• Resistance testing of module
Every 5-7 Years
• Consider preventative replacement
• Full system evaluation
• Update to newer module if available
Note: Actual maintenance intervals may vary based on usage, climate, and manufacturer recommendations. Always consult your vehicle's manual for specific guidance.
Emergency Maintenance Required If:
• Check Engine light appears
• AC performance suddenly decreases
• Unusual electrical problems occur
• Strange noises emerge from the fan area
