I've had some issues with my fans, but it was the opposite, they wouldn't ever slow down! You should be able to see if they're working okay by turning the AC on with the car idling. The fans should both come on at low-medium speed. Someone correct me if this is wrong, I've just noticed that's how mine works. My high-speed fan issue was resolved by putting in a new air cleaner, made no sense, but hey, whatever works.

how did those gxe wheels get on there? yeah, do the a/c check, if they don't come on, check/clean coolant temp sensor and wires.

the A/C is not kicking on, and i pushed in the thingy where you fill up the freon, nothing, so id say it is empty. doesnt kick in at all, just might need a charge, then it might kick in. ohh yeah, i thioought the GXE rims looked beter, nut now i am thinging the SE rims look better, anyone else think so??? i might sell them too, dunno which oines though. i like the SE rims b\c nmot many ppl have SE maximas, you see lots of GXE around me. i like to be different, but i have no money!

i had this problem with my car for so long....it's because the ac lost all its required pressures so it turned off the compressor and fans to prevent the ac systems from self-terminating.

i had the same problem but it turned out to be the coolant temp. sensor. if u have coolant in ur system and the fans don't turn on at all when it gets to normal temp. just unplug the sensor and the fans should come on automatically. if they come on then ur coolant temp. sensor went bad.

check coolant sensor and relays. fuses aren't a bad thing to check either.
