engine cooling problem

[John]

My 1995 Subaru Legacy L has two engine cooling fans. Should both of the
fans continually cycle on and off together very frequently?

Thanks,

John,

Is this deja vu all over again? Seems you asked the exact same question
a few weeks ago and there was a pretty good thread on it. Did we miss
something?

Probably find one is on and off with the a/c, other normal cooling. See if
only one works with the air left off. If temp gauge is normal and you're
not losing coolant, sound like they're doing their job just fine! Cheers

Ditto that. One should be on all the time, the other should cycle with the
A/C. Otherwise, something may be amiss. I lost both fuses in a crash, and
the repair place and the insurance company missed it. As it was the dead of
winter, I didn't notice the lack of fans until early summer when I
overheated. Fortunately I came prepared with spare fuses. A good
investment for any motorist.

I don't know what controls the fans, but if there's a relay involved it
might account for the cycling.
