Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Today, I was checking the AC charge and I discovered the right side fan did not work on low speed at all.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The last couple of weeks I was noticing that the car was running just the slightest bit hotter than usual. I figured it was just the summer heat. A couple of days ago I noticed the radiator fans were cycling from slow to fast fairly quickly. Hmm, dosen't seem right. Today, I was checking the AC charge and I discovered the right side fan did not work on low speed at all. So I replaced the fan resistor and all is well again.
