    Hello Everyone!! I have a question for the expert people, my fan clutch is not working properly, sometimes engaged and disengage with normal temperature. And in the morning when I start the motor engages and does not let the motor to warm up properly. And it keeps doing that all day engaging and disengaging. I already change the two sensors that deal with fan clutch and the solenoid and still doing the same thing. Does anyone has a clue what the problem might be? Thank you all for your answers.

    Was one of those switches a A/C high pressure switch that also can engage the fan clutch?

    Doesn't matter if ac is off . If that high pressure switch loses the connection even for second . The fan will come on ......

    Sometimes if you use a paper clip and very gently move the prongs apart you can solve the switch issue.....

  10. On a side note. If your a/c system has lost freon. The fan will act up the same as you describe.
