Can start auxiliary fan with jumper wires, but does not run at operation temperature. AC stopped blowing cold air. Changed water pump, sensor in lower radiator hose and thermostat. No power in sensor wire mounted on fan shroud. #37 (50a) fuse is good. Help!

All functions on ac works but no cold air. Thinking it just needs charging but read that it is designed to stop working when auxiliary fan is defective.

Got one short reply/question from your expert and a page full of ads. Assuming when you sign in with facebook your questions are screened. Don't bother, I'll continue Googling it until I solve the problem.

Hi John sorry for the experience so far I will continue with you. There is no screening we just get a lot of questions.

The auxiliary fan will not operate if the ac is down on charge, here is a link to show you how you can add refrigerant yourself

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.
