Why is the Wuling Hongguang fan not working?
3 Answers
Water temperature has not reached the required level, the relay is faulty, or the temperature control switch has an issue. Below is an introduction to the Wuling Hongguang: Appearance: The striking eagle-eye crystal diamond headlights and feather-shaped crystal diamond front fog lights further enhance the vehicle's premium feel. Two powerful lines rise on the engine hood, giving a strong visual sense of power. Power: The Wuling Hongguang is equipped with two engines: the P-TEC 1.2L and the 1.5L-DVVT, both designed and manufactured according to General Motors' global powertrain standards. These engines feature a double overhead camshaft design, which is relatively rare in small-displacement engines. While ensuring ample power, they also demonstrate excellent fuel economy, significantly reducing vehicle operating costs.
I've been driving for over 20 years and have seen many cases where the Wuling Hongguang's fan stops working. Common causes include blown fuses located in the engine compartment's fuse box (they burn out easily), faulty relays that control fan activation (won't turn if damaged), burnt-out fan motors (especially with frequent use in hot weather), poor wiring connections, or failed temperature sensors that don't trigger the fan when engine temps rise. I remember once during a long trip when the fan stopped, the engine temperature skyrocketed, and I nearly broke down - turned out to be a burnt relay. The biggest danger of a non-working fan is engine overheating and damage - never delay repairs. Always glance at the temperature gauge before driving. During summer maintenance, cleaning fan blades and checking electrical circuits can prevent bigger issues.
As a young person, I bought a used Wuling Hongguang, and the fan not working had me running around in circles. The issue might be with the fuse, relay, or a short circuit in the wiring. Curious to DIY, I checked the fuse box as per the manual—if the fuse was burnt black, I replaced it, but be careful of electric shock; I tried unplugging and re-plugging the relay, but if it still didn’t work, I’d take it to the repair shop. The mechanic said it could be a faulty temperature sensor or a burnt-out motor. Until fixed, the AC wouldn’t cool, making summers unbearable. The lesson: DIY checks can save money, but without electrical knowledge, don’t take risks—it’s easy to harm the car or yourself. The fan is crucial for the cooling system; if it stops, it increases fuel consumption and safety risks. Regular maintenance checks are recommended.
