The problem is that the low-speed cooling fans are NOT running and I have a 100 mile trip to the selling dealer to get it repaired under warranty.
Leading evidence: 'Repair under warranty' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'resistors' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Repair under warranty' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Mine was like this for a while till I changed the resistors.

Its no problem, mine ran for ages with duff fan resistors, therfore no low speed fan before I even realised the fans were supposed to run with ac on.

Suspected cause
If they are not working then likely the resistors.

Yes low speed fans run regardless of gas in the system.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My 996 3.4C2 AC has a leak and, if I understand things correctly the slow speed cooling fans will not run as a result. Is it safe to drive the car in this condition until the leak can be identified and repaired? The high speed on the cooling fans operates as normal
If you turn the a/c on even if its not working due to no gass the fans will still run at slow speed .. unless theres a fault with them.
On temp then low speed kicks in about 96 degrees and high speed around the 105 degrees mark .
Yes low speed fans run regardless of gas in the system. If they are not working then likely the resistors. Safe to drive? Mine was like this for a while till I changed the resistors. Just make sure they fans run at full when triggered by a hot engine otherwise it will overheat and probably pop your coolant expansion tank
What is there to go wrong, you have a pump that is not pumping so it is simply spinning, I guess the bearing could eventually fail but it's less likely that if you were using it.
The cooling fans are now only in use for cooling and so there is less load on them and the other AC parts are effectively passive when not in use.
Mind you, if you don;t have a sun roof it will get very hot in summer and they say this summer will be very hot.....
The problem is that the low-speed cooling fans are NOT running and I have a 100 mile trip to the selling dealer to get it repaired under warranty. Replacement resistors have been ordered along with a condenser replacement kit.
Its no problem, mine ran for ages with duff fan resistors, therfore no low speed fan before I even realised the fans were supposed to run with ac on.
I had AC fine, the fans kicked in full just fine when the coolant got hot.
