It’s been super hot here in South Georgia this summer.
I’ve noticed when pulling in the garage with the air on the fan is running at a high speed or there are 2 fans running.
I shut the air off and all goes back to normal.
Air cools great otherwise.
Should I be concerned?

Posting the year, make and model of your vehicle may help.

My 2015 Expedtion Limited 4x4 will have the auxiliary radiator cooling fan shift to a higher-speed mode when the a/c is on and the ambient temperature is about 90 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. It sounds like a 747 taking off. It has the HD towing package.

I have stopped to get fuel and left the vehicle running with the a/c running - with occupants, during high temperatures. I have had people tell me several times that there is something wrong with my car, as it is so loud. The dealer states it is normal, although there is no mention in the vehicle owner’s manual of the higher fan speed and excessive noise.

Sorry. Thought I posted this in the proper place.
It is a 2017 Ford Expedition XLT, 80k miles.



You did - but some of the earlier 3rd generation models had mechanical fans with a vicious clutch. The year, make and model helps the members identify which equipment you have (and potential problems).
