first you need to find out if the fan or fans are bad. the fan on the condenser should kick on when the head pressure on the a/c system builds up. the fan on the radiator should kick on around 208 degrees if the fuses and relays are working properly, other factors that you have to consider are the thermostat, fluid level, old coolant, pressure cap, coolant temperature sensor, loose wire connector, is the radiator and condenser cores clean on the outside allowing maximum air flow through them, since it is a 90's model how much build up is there on the inside of the radiator, you need to do a step by step diagnostic, before buying and replacing, it might save you some money

you car may overheat if the fans sesnor no longer kick i nthe fans at the approiate time, you can hotwire the fans so they athey are always on until you get a new tyhermal sensor, they will only be only and running full tilt only when the ignition is on and running.
also some have a clutch for enagement, if the fan clutch wear the fan will not spin at proper rpm due to non lock up of the fan clutch

the name or info you need will be on the bottom of the fan ,,you can see it when you take it out,,it might just be the fan switch,this is what helps kick it on when it supposed to come on,,you need to take it and get it looked at before you start spending a lot of money on it,,it might be something really simple wrong with it,,but by the time you get done reading all the answers your going to get on here ,,you may spend a few 100 bucks before you get it fixed,,i hope this help,s.

If it's one or both of your fans malfunctioning,you should try to get the both working,especially if you have A/C.

you want a volt/ohm meter to envision such issues as that. it might also be your coolant temp. sensor. change on your a/c with engine operating. The followers could commence. if so then you truthfully favor to checkk another places.
