fan whine
what up all? here's my situation. i started to notice that whenever my climate control unit was on, my engine made a kind of whiney and crackly sound. I then popped the hood and noticed that it was the front fan that did this. This is not the main engine fan, but rather the AC and cooling fan. when ever this fan turns on my engine makes more noise. do you guys have any ideas as to what might be causing this or how to counter it? what drives this fan? it is electric correct? thanks for your help.

i was under hte impression that the fan clutch was for the fan closest to the engine? what are the different names for the fans so i can actually call them by their designated names?

You have an engine fan and an auxiliary fan. That is the one between the grill and the radiator. It comes on when you need more cooling, like traffic on a hot day. It also comes on when you turn on the air conditioning. Is the noise coming from the engine or the fan? It is electric, BTW. If it is the aux fan, maybe a bearing going bad?
