For a 96 Saturn sl1 how can you check to see if the electric fan is working properly?

To check if the electric fan in your 1996 Saturn SL1 is working properly, follow these steps:

1. Park your car in a safe location and turn off the engine. Allow the engine to cool down if it has been running.

2. Open the hood of your car. Locate the electric fan, which is usually mounted on the front side of the radiator.

3. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. The electric fan should turn on automatically when the engine reaches a certain temperature.

4. Listen for the sound of the fan running. You should be able to hear the fan spinning.

5. Look at the fan blades. The blades should be spinning freely.

6. If the electric fan is not turning on, there may be a problem with the fan motor, the wiring, or the temperature sensor. You can troubleshoot the problem by following these steps:

* Check the fan motor fuse. If the fuse is blown, replace it.

* Check the wiring to the fan motor. Make sure that the wires are properly connected and that there are no breaks in the wires.

* Check the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is responsible for turning on the electric fan when the engine reaches a certain temperature. If the temperature sensor is not working properly, it will not send a signal to the fan motor to turn on.

7. If you are unable to troubleshoot the problem yourself, you can take your car to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
