Cooling fans, is it normal or do I have a problem?

[zx6rscotty]

I'm just out and about in the car stopped to show a mate and noticed only one cooling fan was on. The temperature gauge read 90 and did not go above that.
Is it normal or do I have a problem I'm hoping the other fan kicks in at a high temperature.

Would have done a search but I'm still out and doing this post on my phone as it's bugging me something might be wrong.

They usually come on as a pair unless you've got something like the David Beer modwise fan kit that I think turns on one earlier than the other.

If it doesn't have some sort of mod then both fans should come on at the same time. Probably just a corroded connector as they are exposed to the elements. Pull apart, clean up and put back together and should be sorted in a couple of minutes.

I had this, turns out it was just a dirty connection where the fans join the loom, (found mine at the bottom of the rad)

thanks for the replys, ill have a look at the connections tomorrow and see what they are like and report back hopefull with the problem sorted.

+1 seems like a common problem

When you check the fan connectors it's worth checking the fans rotate the correct way.

Sounds obvious but one of mine was going the wrong way and other people have posted similar experiences.
