  • Overheating/Fan not working

    My car has been running hot for a while now, and i think it's because the fan isn't coming on. I don't know whether its the computer, the relays, or the motor itself that is failing. My question is how do i check the relays to see if they are good or not? If it isn't, how can i check to see if the motor is burnt out. Finally if i need to get a new fan, is there an aftermarket performance fan? TIA

    I WOULD SUGGEST HEADING DOWN TO PEP BOYS AND GETTING A HAYNES MANUAL...THAT THING HAS TAUGHT ME SO MUCH ABOUT MY CAR. I HAD THE SAME TROUBLE A FEW MONTHS BACK AND THE MANUAL SHOWED ME ALL THE STEPS TO TAKE TO CHECK OUT EVERYTHING!

      I've got one. Didn't see anything about checking relays. Lots about fuses, but nothing on relays. Thanks anyway...anyone else

          regularly above 3/4 of the gauge but not in the red, so like 230, 240 maybe. Plus the coolant level stays constant, so i can rule out a coolant leak, and when i hit the heat full blast the temp drops to half of the gauge. I'm pretty sure it's the fan.

              It's tough to diagnose that way because my compressor is shot....i don't use it much...planning on replacing it soon
