- On these particular vehicles, especially in TX, fans, fan connectors and relays are all high failure rate items. I have found a few PCM's going bad as well because they contain the fan drivers. Make sure you're checking power and ground everywhere. And don't forget the mysteriously placed relays!! :)
Place to get both relay and pigtail:

Radiator Fan Relay(5 terminal) ACDELCO Part # 19118886
Radiator Fan Relay Pigtail (5 terminal) ACDELCO Part# PT1205
*Note
As of 2007 I believe the design and location changed to where the underhood fuse block contains all 3 fan relays
Thank you very sincerely! Changed the cooling fans (269k), connectors, checked relays BUT NOT THE ONE UNDER THE BUMPER! FIXED THE PROBLEM. Totally thank you. Jim Knox, Holly Springs, MS
You're right, for the love! Check this first if both fans do not work. Between pulling the old relay out, getting a new one from the auto parts store, and putting it back together, I spent 15 minutes on this project. 2006 Poniac Torrent Original PN 12193611
Thank you!! I was out on a road trip when my fans stop working.... watching your video and a quick stop to the auto parts store and I was back on the road again..thank you thank you!
donjuan649 glad to help! :)
Thank you, i knew there had to be another relay. You savened me a bunch of time!!
YW! :-)
Thanks for the video had no idea where that third relay was located
well I pulled mine and it's burned. haven't found a replacement part yet but
BIG TKS to you bro cuz I'm
optimistic things will be fine that's the problem
Thanks I've been having trouble for a few months now with it overheating and ac not working at low speed or idle. I was puzzled since my fuse box had a low fan relay and high fan relay and nothing worked. I watched this video and swapped relay and now I'm golden thanks a million
For 2007+ models please check the connections at the fans plugs. Both my fan plugs were charred from bad connections! I didn't have the relay under the headlight but my culprit was similar due to a bad connection
Which relay is for the radiator cooling fan? I see Fan 1 2 and 3.
My 2009 Equinox LT AWD - that compartment holds the horn - the 3 fan relays on mine are on the fuse/relay block next to the battery.
Mine too. I was pissed when I saw that horn. I was ready to say problem solved
Thanks so much I just bought a 2006 Pontiac Torrent and I am having this same issue the temp is high the fans are not at all spinning
My 2007 Torrent has been a nightmare since buying it a year ago. Keep replacing every aspect of the cooling system only for something else to go bad
It worked thanks
It is the fan control relay and pigtail and they are available on rockauto.com
My issue is with a 2008 Torrent, and what happens is the cooling fans low speed doesn’t kick on, but when the engine gets a bit too hot the high speeds kick on perfectly fine. We replaced just about every part imaginable recently because I was having overheating issues. Any idea what could be the issue?
Thanks
While looking at the relay and connector under the bumper you talked about, there is another piece mounted there. What is that piece and what does it do. Thank you
Thank you brother I do mobile mechanic I just save a lady a lot of money
Thank you my friend. I was getting cray trying to fix that low fan! The relay is ok..a little burn but working...I would like to get the pigtail... Where should I go? How to order it? Mine is hella... And I can't find it online.. Thank you!
Hey i got a same problem with mine,i order a brand new connector but come with no relay, do you know by any chance what’s the part nb ?
Thanks a lot!!
thank you...
foxrecon383, i was wondering if you can point me in the right direction in finding the engine cooling fan wire, my mother has an 07 torrant she bought it total'd the shop that fixed it never hooked up that fan and i can't find the wire anywhere they spliced the trans fan wire but not the engine fan. any idea where the engine fan wire would come from off the harness or would it come from the relay you pointed out in the video any help would be appreciated.
I have a 2007 equinox 3.4 but I look under the plastic cover and there's no relay like the one you're showing on this video 😢
They moved it to the fuse box in 2007 I believe.
@@FoxRecon383 I got it 👍 thanks for your help 💯👍
Would a 3.4 06 equinox have a 4th? Does this year have it hidden?
Mine is a 2005 Equinox found the Pigtail for the relay and another connector by it. Do you know what else should be connected down there?
Interesting... I do not know what else would be there, no. Sorry sir.
@@FoxRecon383 Checked another 2005 equinox and its some sensor made with ceramic screwed to the chassis right by the relay don't know what it is for.
@@phc2845 send me a picture? foxitauto@gmail.com
I am having a problem with the fans not engaging until the temperature gauge begins to rise and the needle crosses the half way point. Could the relay be the issue?
Tony Varriano definitely! exactly the problem this car had.
thank you!
Tony Varriano I have the same problem, I checked the relay like you suggested and still the same thing, and my AC won't turn on, the light keeps flashing when I try to turn the ac on. I have a Chevy Equinox 06 lt AWD
Tony Varriano actually, I take it back, it worked! Thanks!!!
On my 2006 Torrent only the small fan works on Hi speed the big fan is good but does not work unless I ground it . I replaced I replaced the relay, that I found thanks to you and the pig tail, and the pig tail on the fan motor itself. Still no low speed, and high speed on the one motor only. What else could it be?
ROBERT SMITH unfortunately, I believe the PCM is the likely culprit if this relay & all the wiring checks good.
FoxRecon383 I was afraid you were going to say that. Thanks for your help.
FoxRecon383 what is PCM
PCM = Powertrain Control Module. I can share to you the schematic diagram and I also made a truth table to show on how and when the cooling fans were “on” and when they are on high or low speed. I took time to trace and understand it when I also had the overheating problem on my Nox 2005.
My 2005 Equinox has a problem with fans wont turn on.. The relays aré ok AND The temp sensor new.. what can ve tre problem.. the mechanic say The computer ?? Could that be??
If your power and grounds are all good. It could definitely be the computer.
Do you replace both male and female parts
Arizona Shotokai USA the male part is the plug, the female is the pigtail, I would definitely do both.
The high speed is not working on my 2006 Chevy equinox
Hi there,
Would this problem somewhat fix my AC clutch not engaging? I could of swear that this almost happened the same time that both fans stopped working and I was having issue with my air conditioning not working..
Mark Castanos probably not, although they are related. Your low speed fan not coming on can / would cause your high side a/c pressure to climbing and shut off the clutch eventually if the high speed did not kick in.
i have a 07 equinox when I unplug the ac pressure sensor the fans go on high speed and when it's plugged in the fans stay off any help
Okay so I did as in the video but when I went to pull it out. It is not my relay it is my horn and I have no idea where to d
Find this relay so I can see if that's the problem
Linda East the S/P relay in my video should be inside the driver side fender well. If you don't have one, you may only have relays in your main under hood fuse box.
Yep I figured it out thank you
I have just the one not spinning help
My daughters relay keeps getting burnt in about a week of driving- what do you think is causing that problem?
Too much current draw. Double check the ground... But it's probably fan(s) near the end of their life / needing to be changed.
@@FoxRecon383 the fan plug was burnt real bad- we replaced the plug and the fans started to work- filled up the reservoir with more water and tightened the cap all the way on- went for a test drive and the car started to over heat again, but the fans were working the entire time- i had recently changed the Thermostat and the temp sensor- now thinking it might be the water pump?
Sounds like are trapped in the line and there is a bleeder valve you have to open while you're putting in coolant to get the air out.
is there a certain way i should take the relay out? mines won't come out
JAYGREEN45 there is a 10m bolt holding it to the frame which will let it drop. The connector can be melted to the relay and require some extra effort to disconnect it.
What about 2014 silverado

where can u purchase ? And what is it called my autoparts dont know what it is
kb leslie added part #s to video description
where did you get a new relay connector ?
Mark Nashville I found mine on RockAuto.com
did not find a relay under the bumper
David McMillian You probably have a different yr or engine than in this video. If you don't have it under bumper / inside fender then it is in the main fuse box with the other(s).
Is it in the 2007 torrent
cant find it on my 2008 Equinox
Robert Rosete a few equinoxes might not have it there. Some of the 2008s had all fan relays in the underhood fuse block.
My daughter has a 2007 pontiac torrent with the 3.4 and she has no relay mounted anywhere on the frame on either side. I spent the last 2 hours pulling the entire bumper and headlights. haha. Nothing. :/
I believe they changed it on the 2007's to be inside the fuse box.
@@FoxRecon383 Do you happen to know "what" relay it would be? I swapped fan 1, fan 2 and fan 3 around to no avail. Her fans don't kick on when i turn the ac on. AC was COLD until a week ago. Now it gets warm, but the ac clutch is engaged, and the fans don't work (which is what is making the air warm). I'm going to power probe the fans tomorrow and if they're good, then I have an issue between the fuse box and fans. JOY! haha. I checked all fuses as well, and all are good. I was REALLY hoping for that frame relay. I guess I could pull the relays and probe them tomorrow as well to make sure they're switching on.
@@billhall1103 I am sure it's one of or a combo of the 3. I would strongly suspect the fan motors or the connectors to them.
@@FoxRecon383 I appreciate the info! I'll be probing the motors tomorrow and i'll scope the connectors. Have a good night!
The only thing under the frame rail cover was the horn.Thanks for waste of time.
Just noticed that you-tube screwed me over,I typed in 2007 and your stuff came up. Sorry,on those models it might be there?Don't bother looking if you own a 2007. :(
@@patrickteto I have an 08 and only the horn was there
