2015 F3s Hot Rod Cruiser. My cooling fans quit working. Checked the 30 amp fuse and it is OK. Any suggestions? It is not overheating, just higher temp than normal with out the fans kicking in.

Hmmm, gotta be the temp sending unit for the fans. Better have your dealer check it ASAP. Cuz you know it only takes one time to really F things up! And sometimes that one time comes in a heartbeat!
Do you know when the fans did come on....? could it be the weather change but if you know when they kicked in and they are no longer doing that it would be the temp sensor and you should have it checked out. On my RS the fan does not kick in till it hit 5 bars which seems to be past the mid point....:thumbup:
There is also a relay in the right hand fuse box that controls the fans. Sorry but I can't copy and paste the service manual. If the relay is good you may have to have it hooked to BuDS to check the operation, it says if hooked to BUDS and you can activate the fan then it may be the Coolant Temperature Sensor.
Good luck.
Fans do not come on at all now. Before at about 4-5 bars. The weather in Florida is still hot so I am guessing you may be correct with the sensor being bad. You would think there would be a code active for that. No codes are active. ( thanks for your quick response)Quote:

But yes, you could check the voltage going to the fans......or lack of voltage......to try and sectionalize the problem.
I think the first thing I would suggest is checking the wiring and connectors going to the fans.
That test can be done with BUDS but that would require a trip to the dealer.Quote:
