Electric Condensor Fan

I've spent sometime looking for a replacement condensor fan to no avail.
I can't run my A/C because the high head pressure was raising the core temp.
Since I live in Florida A/C is a must last week was painful.

Is there a fan out there that I can use to replace it with?

Or is there anyone on the forum that has one they want to sell me?

Pretty much any aftermarket electric fan that fits onto the front of the condensor will work. Just make sure it's configured as a pusher.

I need to troubleshoot this fan. My AC fan will not come on . I suspect a bad thermoswitch but Shouldnt the fan come on with the AC regardless of the thermoswitch being good or bad?

The thermoswitch is a least likely culprit. Test the fan motor and fan relay as per the instructions in the FSM Cooling System chapter.

you can bridge out the pressure switch by putting a metal paper clip between both terminals not a common fault but they do fail, espically when the filter isnt changed and crap can get in them.

He's asking about the fan in front of the A/C condensor, not the A/C system itself.

Key to ON. Then pull the single green/black wire off the water thermo switch. The fan should come on. Engine does not have to be running.

Or pull the Meter fuse with the key to ON. The fan should now run.

Or pull the EGI COMP fuse and the fan should run if the key is to ON.

Or ring the wires out per the page Bc of the 87 FSM and find out why the fan did not run.

The fan should have run if you did any of the first three things I mentioned.

And it never hurt to have the cooling fan fuse in good shape for the fan to work.

Sorry thanks ..I searched and found it, and got off my lazy butt and went outside in the 90 degree 60% humidity and pulled the thermoswitch wire . got 12vdc at the wire fan connector, so i pulled my fan out. any hints on what a good replacement would be. Im thinking just pull a fan from a car that has a simular blade size and mounting (3bolt is pretty common import fan type) and swap it in the 'frame' Any particular car I should look for?

Thanks again guys.
