The electric one should run continuously with A/C in operation. Otherwise
only come on when a thermostat calls for it. It's very common for the fan
motor itself to fail.

I'll second that -- Known failure point A/C condenser fan in front of rad. It

If you have A/C and it don't work have a look at the pump clutch. When mine
disintegrated last autumn it gave the impression of a flat battery as it tried
to lock the engine via the drive belts.
