the problem is because i have no cooling fans. can anyone tell me where i can buy them? what year coolin fans will fit on my 96 maxima? thanks alot.

 

i recomend another one from the factory...because you need the connectors that will work with the specific temp sensors and stuff.

 

shut it kyle

 

yea cool kyle. nice job doing the smilie right. i answered his question, that was the point of posting

 

Not his fault he is a HUGE

 

holy christ, both of you, shhhh (kyle you are a newbie and an a$$) get the fans quick, but that still wouldnt explain all the overheating. you do A LOT of city driving? at freeway speeds, the fans dont do much.

 

Just the fans not being there Is definitely not helping, But check your Coolant level, and thermostat as well

 

yea, i was gonna suggest thermostat AFTER i found out what kind of driving he did. yea, uve been here longer, you can count months, yay!

 

Ur one mean dude mang

 

grrrr . you keep deleting and changing your posts on me, its confusing

 

maybe i shouldve said it only overheats while idling for a long time. will older maxima fans work on my 96?

 

To be honest, Im not sure...Do you have an FSM? That would tell you..several things differ from 95-96 to 97-99 etc

 

whats FSM?

 

Factory Service Manual

if u need parts, u can get from www.car-part.com or www.newnissanparts.com

 

you can find a set of fans on ebay probably 9 days left.

 

kingpin4, how do you know you need new cooling fans? Dothey not run?

Thermostat, clogged radiator, water pump, collapsed hoses, poor performing fan motor, broken fan blades, so many factors that could come in to play.

If your fans work, a radiator flush might be in order if it's never been done.

 

i have no fans.

 

If I were you, I wouldn't be driving that car around. Overheat it and crack your block, melt your internals, etc .... your VQ will not be the same.

Why don't you go to the junkyard and buy a set of fans? Try to work a deal out where you tell them the year you have and if they have a different year, you'll buy it first to see if it will fit.

How did you end up having a car with no fans?

 

Like pocket rocket stated..how can your car not have fans????Did you not check under the hood when you bought it??? I'm confused.

 

no cooling fans? did Harold steal yours too? (just kidding)
seriously though. how do you not have cooling fans?

 

someone stole them! i dont know who this harold character is, but i dont understand why someone wanted my cooling fans. as of right now i am not driving it. i looked on ebay and found fans for $125 plus $35 shipping. every junkyard i got to doesnt have my generation maxima, and thats why i am hoping the older fans will work in my car.

 

it was a joke. nevermind.

 

well when i find out who this harold son of a ***** is, im gonna have a word with him.

 

hate to add this, but I just have to.

You're a bit nutty for running yer car without fans.

Again, just had to add...it was bugging me.

 

the car is sitting in my driveway now. im stuck driving a honda del sol.

 

There's always a first for everything ... stealing radiator fans is now a plausible theft.

Did they just remove the fan motors, or the complete plastic shroud assembly?

Autozone has brand new Siemens dual fan assemblies for $199.99 with limited lifetime warranty. You get a new part, and you can take it back if it's the wrong one.

Guy on ebay is parting out his car here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2441841724

 

they removed the fans, plastic, everything. they didnt even unclip the wiring, they cut it.

 

call some local junkyards and get the parts...

 

i want to get the cheapest ones i can. i dont know any junk yards around here that have them, thats why i want to know if the older maxima fans will work.

 

How about repairing the wiring. That is going to be fun.

 

how many wires are there for the fans? i can only imagine three at most, positive, negative and ground

 

There are two motor fans, probably three or four wires per fan. He'll have fun splicing the wires up, then shrinkwrapping it.

If he does it at the shop, I'm sure they'll know what to do but I can't imagine it'll be cheap.

 

um....i still dont get whats hard about that ooo shrinkwrap, difficult

 

this might help with the wireing http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?threadid=129181

 

kevlo, you seem to just have endless links and knowledge man
*edit* also ive done that fan mod...worked flawlessly, and is pretty cool in general (i used the ECU multiple speed method explained further on, not the relay one)

 

lmao
harold=hlh0501 here on the org.
no, he did not steal you fan's. he does turbo kits and some people have complained about fan issues...yada yada yada

 

lol, thanks for explaining that, i KNEW it was a joke, just not why it was funny

 

lol, i figured it was someone on here that i didnt know about.

yeah i'm probably gonna do it myself. i've been working on cars for almost two years now. i'm not saying i'm a mechanic, but atleast i havent feared splicing wires since i was seventeen.
