Cooling fans not working on my ’86 Camry - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

In stop and go traffic the temperature gauge keeps rising to near the top without the fans turning on. If I turn the A/C on, the fans do come on. What should I check? Are the fans controlled by a temperature switch? If so where is it? Is there an online wiring diagram like they have for the GEN2 posted anywere?

The link below has service info on Camry. Could be the temperature switch for the fan..

There is no info for GEN1 cars.

Turn ignition on, do not start the engine.Unplug the fan switch connector located on the thermostat housng (lower rad. hose near the water pump). If fans are on now, replace the fan switch.

Thanks for the info, the fans did come on after pulling the connector so I'll replace the switch.
