Radiator fans do not come on
Disconnected rattling fan on drivers side while I wait for a new one to arrive, but, neither fan will come on now after driving and idling for quite a while. Temp outside is 19 deg so maybe they won't come on. However, is there something that needs to be reset after disconnecting one fan.

No overheating
Just making noise. I am going to change it this week. Just seemed strange that they wouldn't come on at all seems like they would kick on before at any temp. I let it idle for quite a while, but, thanks I won't worry about it. I have the noisy one disconnected so it won't come apart.

my 2002 TC Limited's radiator fans will occasionally come on for no known reason, it could be 10 degrees outside and when I know they shouldn't be on they are. they come on when needed for engine cooling and AC operation but like I said they would come on (only occasionally), weird. I have ATC with rear heat/ac. fan relay was replaced with no help, could it be the coolant sensor? it has normal operating temp and never overheats. where is the sensor? I'm sure it's inexpensive if that's it. Thanks!

Just a quick question, but I have to ask......
Does this happen with the defroster on????
Doubtful the coolant sensor is bad, because there is no dedicated sensor for the fan. There is an Engine Coolant Temp sensor, which feeds PCM with coolant Data and in turn PCM will activate the relay to turn the fans on....If there were a problem as you describe, It would most definitely either set a C/E light, or cause other driveability issues in another area.
Now...During defroster usage, your A/C compressor is activated to de humidify the incoming Air....When High side pressure exceeds predetermined limit, The fans will operate to avoid Over pressure, and since The condenser and pressurized freon produce their own heat, it will have very little rhyme or reason as compared to outside temps.

they run normal (as expected) when AC an/or defroster is activated. I just found it odd that sometimes they would be on after I just exited the highway when we know no cooling fans are needed for only heat or just the cabin "fan" being on, heat or no heat.
