What are the reasons for the Wuling Hongguang fan not spinning?
3 Answers
Here are the reasons why the Wuling Hongguang fan does not spin and the corresponding solutions: 1. Motor overheating causes the fan not to spin: There is a motor in the fan assembly, and the motor has an overheating circuit breaker. If a short circuit occurs in the coil winding, the heat generation will increase in a short time, causing the motor not to spin. In this case, replace the new overheating circuit breaker. 2. Lack of lubricating oil causes the fan not to spin: During inspection, you can turn off the power, then rotate the fan blades. If the rotation is relatively stiff, you can drop special lubricating oil into the fan's rotating shaft to lubricate it to avoid affecting the motor's dragging of the fan blades. 3. Long-term wear causes the fan not to spin: Long-term use of the fan will cause severe wear, because the motor will be damaged, and the motor's bushing will wear out easily, which can easily burn out. At this time, new parts need to be replaced.
The fan not spinning is quite common on the Wuling Hongguang. I think it's mostly caused by a blown fuse, as I often help friends with car repairs and have seen this issue many times. If the fan remains stationary, the engine temperature will skyrocket, affecting driving safety. First, check the fuse box and try replacing it with a matching new fuse—remember to disconnect the positive battery terminal to avoid electric shock before replacement. If it still doesn’t work after replacement, the relay might be faulty. Located in the engine bay, oxidized contacts or a burnt coil can interrupt the signal. An aging fan motor might also seize up and fail to rotate—listen for any unusual noises. Additionally, a faulty temperature sensor can cause the ECU to misjudge a low temperature, preventing the fan from starting. Regular dust cleaning and checking for loose wiring can prevent minor issues from escalating. It’s best not to disassemble it randomly—getting it checked at a professional shop is more reliable.
I'm a newbie who just started driving a Wuling Hongguang. Last time, the fan suddenly stopped working, and I was so anxious that I called my relatives for advice to calm down. They said the most common issue is a blown fuse, possibly caused by unstable voltage, and replacing it might solve the problem. I also checked online forums and found many people had encountered similar issues, with causes ranging from simple wiring disconnections to more complex problems like control module failures. Now I've learned a bit: if the fan doesn’t turn on after starting the engine and the water temperature rises, there’s likely a problem; but if it doesn’t work when the engine is cold, it might be normal. My relatives suggested keeping a spare fuse in the car for emergencies, which is quite practical. Don’t delay if the fan stops working, as it can easily cause the engine to overheat and damage the pistons, leading to costly repairs. Learning some basic knowledge really makes things much easier.
