overheating why
my car seems to be overheating and i noticed that the damn fan isnt working. it doesnt turn on to cool down the radiator . ive checked ever single fuse and relay and nada. ive about given up hope and think im just going to take it to a place where they check ac/s cause i have no warranty and the dealer wont bother looking at my car due to to many mods. what do i do?
did you pull your relay out and run a jumper wire across the power and ground terminals. this would kick your fan on. if it doesn't then you have to make sure all the connectors are tight and secure. if they are you have a short somewhere. don't forget to have your key to the on position to supply power.

I was thinkin the same thing... if it is, make sure you get the proper thermostat to replace the busted 1. Dont get a higher temp thermostat. good luck!

i would replace the thermostat and see if that cures it. changing it is not hard, just make sure you have a few extensions, a universal joint, something to scrape of the old gasket, and get a NEW gasket ..dont reuse the old one. just follow you lower radiator hose to you thermostat housing.
