Hi all. I recently bought a 95 Trans Am with LT1 and I was wondering why both of the cooling fans turn on right after i fire the car up, Even if the car is cold. I live in Massachusetts so it gets pretty cold around here. Are the fans programmed through the computer? How would i know if the stock program has been changed? Any input would be great. Thanks.

Is the check engine light on? Sounds like it's in maintenance mode. The fans are on high right?

No, the check engine light is not on. There are no trouble codes present.

could be last owner wired up the fans to run whenever ignition switch is on. Check fan wiring diagram at shbox.com and see if your fan wiring is factory or not.

They do not turn on exactly when the ignition is hot. they come on about 5 seconds after car is started. i'll check out that site. thanks.

I kinda have a issue like this except my fans come on when i turn the heater on. i live in Wisconsin so of course its cold but even if i turn the switch real fast past the A/c the fans still come on.

sounds to me like someone has disabled the check engine light. To test the light pull the Air Pump fuse under the hood. This should make the light come on. If the light don't come on that is the problem.

Would the light come on immediately?

It takes a few minutes for the light to come on. drive it aroud the block or something.
