Radiator buzz & fan working funny

my right radiator has a weird problem of slight high pitch noise to it after the engine has been running for a while. This only started to happen recently. I check for leaks but there is none so I have no clue what the problem is.

I also have another problem with my radiator fan as it seems to run funny too. It runs for 5-6 seconds, STOPS for 10 seconds and runs again for 5-6 seconds and repeats itself but this only happens after running the engine for a while. It runs fine when u first start the car or perhaps the first hour. Anyone got suggestions?

Does your air conditioning stop working when you are stopped? If so, your fan resistor is probably going bad. It's a pretty common failure.

air conditioning works perfectly even when the car is stopped. on the other hand, heat doesn't work properly but I dunno if it has anything to do with it. Heat takes a while to work and even at the hottest temp, its not that hot.
