2009 R56 AC warm, Fan inoperative
I spent all day looking for definitive answers and searching the forum.
NO JOY.
So please, help me out?
(Mods, if there is a better place for this post, please move it, by all means!)
I put 12 volts to the fan, it works fine, but there is no power coming to it.
The AC compressor is engaging, I can hear it. But no cold air.
Worked fine two days ago. No symptoms of failure.
NO CEL or codes.
No fuses blown.
swapped the relays around, no change.
I even disconnected the battery at the ground, then reconnected it. No change.
I have had the car 2 months now. I love it, but it makes me nervous.
Thoughts?
Please, Obi Wan! Your my only hope!

My fan quit last week. I took it to Century Mini in Greenville, SC, and they fixed it in a few minutes. They said it was a stick caught in the fan. I didn't see it so I have to trust them. It's working fine now. (I changed the cabin filter a couple of weeks ago, so maybe a stick fall into the fan?)

The fan in the dash for the AC is working correctly? If so, is blowing warm instead of cold? Once you get moving, it doesn't matter if the radiator fan is working or not, air is still passing thru the AC condenser/radiator. You said the compressor is cycling on and off? I'd take it to someone that does auto AC and check you have the right amount of juice in the system, could be simply low..
