Let me elaborate: On the 900s (the 900 "classic") there are 2 radiator fans, both run by electric motors. The fan on the left runs when the A/C is running. In order for the A/C to run, you need the compressor to run, and you need the belt. So (indirectly) you need the belt for this fan to run. The fan on the right is controlled by a thermoswitch in the engine coolant line. With the A/C off (or broken) you don't need the left fan to run in order to keep the engine cool -- the right fan is sufficient. If the right fan won't run, you'll have to check your thermoswitch, fan motor, or wiring. --dma > > In article <37c5a49d.0nopsam.wizvax.net>, > "Brad Schroeter" <scrotumnopsamnet.net> wrote: > > Do I need the AC compressor belt for my fan to work??
