Thread: Fan Not Turning On

    Fan Not Turning On

    Just as stated, the fan is not turning on. The car almost overheated and popped the headgasket (the antifreeze was burning off from a leak or an overflow)

    Where do I look to see why this is not working? Since I replaced the two bad fusible links, should I just let it run for 10-15 minutes and see if the fan kicks on?

    If you unplug the coolant sensor that should cause the fan to turn on. That would verify that the relay and wiring is good.

    The A/C has been out since before I bought the car. I'll try that tomorrow.

    Ya but if the connector is still there make sure it is capped cut or something so it will not ground out.

    Where is the coolant sensor located at?
