Some Chrysler PT Cruiser owners report experiencing overheating and A/C malfunctions during idling, often linked to issues with the cooling fan control system. These problems can arise if the cooling fan fails to function properly, particularly when the vehicle is idling, leading to potential overheating. In some cases, the cooling fan may not engage due to a faulty sensor or relay, despite the fan being operational. Owners are advised to check the cooling fan relays, fuses, and sensors to ensure they are working correctly. Additionally, confirming that the cooling fan activates when the A/C is turned on can aid in diagnosing the issue. Properly addressing the cooling fan control problem is crucial to prevent further engine damage and resolve the overheating and A/C concerns.
