There are two fans in the front of the engine bay, the radiator and AC fan I assume, when i start the car they spin for about three seconds before shutting off and they wont come on again. The AC is functioning I can feel the heat or the cold but the fans wont blow air out of the vents. I have already checked coolant levels and all the fuses.

Hello, I'm Danny,

So, Just a quick question first. Do you mean when you turn the AC/heater on nothing comes out of the dash vents? Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Yes, no air comes out of the air vents in the car. Also, I go under the hood and both the radiator fan and AC fan turn of for a second before shutting off even if the car is up to temperature. The AC clutch is not engaging either and i have already checked all the fuses and relays.

Hello again,

It's possible the blower motor is not functioning if you're not getting any air at any speed. I have attached a tutorial showing what is involved for its replacement.

Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
