Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

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.

Outcome without a verified action link

When I press the snowflake to turn the aircon on there is no change in engine rpm, no fans come on and the inside of the compressor pulley does not spin.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My car is a 98 c2, the aircon and rad fans have stopped working... When I press the snowflake to turn the aircon on there is no change in engine rpm, no fans come on and the inside of the compressor pulley does not spin. I cant get any fans to work by bypassing the relays. so low speed and high speed fans have stopped working. Any ideas whats wrong?

POST 2Original post

Fan relay failure is fairly common. Not sure about the a/c - perhaps your compressor has failed.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ive tried swapping all 4 relays about and it makes no difference so I cant see how all 4 relays could fail at same time. I know the fan resistors should be ok because they are only 6 months old. Its just strange how my aircon and rad fans have both failed at the same time? Can this be connected? I've checked all the fuses they are fine.

POST 4Original post

Are you having trouble getting your key out of the ignition? If so, the ignition switch going bad can cause the a/c & interior fans not to work. Ask me how I know.......

POST 5Original post

Ignition switch? When it goes bad it does funny things to the AC. When you start your car, try turning the key ever so slightly counter clockwise. See if that does anything.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've got it working. I had the aircon unit displaying coolant temperature. I put it back into auto mode and tried the snowflake button and aircon works. Very strange because the snowflake button usually works when your displaying coolant temperature? My fans are now working also. I can't understand this...

POST 7Original post

I would still look at your ignition switch. They don't go bad all at once. Good luck!

The behavior can be explained by considering that feature to view the coolant temp (among other things) putting the A/C control unit in some diagnostics mode doesn't work 100%. This is probably why AFIAK this "feature" was never documented in the owners manual. It doesn't work reliably. Sincerely, Macster.

Here was my fix https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...arge-pics.html

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Macster I think your right, well at least I know how to fix this if my fans go off again. I always run in diagnostic mode to keep an eye on the digital coolant readout. Thanks for that roadsession. I think I have a leaking condenser so thats probably why my compressor inst spinning.
